This is either a feature request or an assistance request. When I search for an item on the 3D Warehouse, rarely is the first choice my final choice. I need to download it to a model and examine it before deciding if it meets my needs. If I decide to look at another model and go back to the Wareh…

The warehouse window returning to home after a download is an annoying quirk I agree. I wish it just stayed open when downloading a model instead of closing in the first place. If you open the 3Dwarehosue in a separate browser window then it stays open on download, but you have the extra step of d…

[image] endlessfix: but you have the extra step of downloading onto your hard drive instead of directly into model. Many of us find this “extra step” to be quite valuable in order to screen the component for a level of detail that makes sense in the context in which we intend to use it. Perso…

Agreed, I do the same. Just pointing out the way the options work to the the OP.

I’d be curious to know if you find the 3D view of the model helpful at all? And what other keys would be helpful to aid in speeding up this process for you?

Hi Barry, First, to answer a question asked elsewhere, I am running SU Pro 2018 on a Mac High Sierra 10.13.3. And I appreciate the explanations from several people to explain their workarounds. I see how I can use a separate browser, but it still seems like the tool should not require workarounds …

@Barry Meh, I don’t really make much use of the 3d view, but that probably has more to do with my workflow than it’s inherent usefulness. If I am digging around in the warehouse for items then I am most likely in the brainstorming phase of my work, slamming ideas together against the screen t…

I do not use the 3D- option regulary, I am more interested in the (recently added) way to display Materials in a Model, it is useful, but sometimes to small to check textures . Often, it doesn’t display the right number of materials. I am ususally distracted by the change of the background while ho…

Yes it’s one of the most useful features. It’s the quickest way to see the quality of the model instead of wasting time downloading one that’s not fit for purpose, don’t remove it please :slight_smile:

It’s so slow, I only use it when the model looks promising, but the 2D thumbnail is just not showing the good bits well. But yes, it’s better than downloading and having to remember to delete files later.
