It is designed to manage your Projects. While mainly used for 3D models in an actual running project , you can also use it to sync all your libraries for yourself, or share them with others. Heres how to set this up You will need a Trimble ID, if you think you don’t have one already, just go to the [3dwarehouse.sketchup.com](http://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com) and look if you are signed in. …

You can also use this to sync other preferences.
