there was never a free 2018 version.

please fill in correctly your profile.

have you downloaded a ton of models recently ? free accounts have a limit (per day or week, not sure) to avoid people just siphoning stuff.

you reached the limit of 100 downloads and it blocked you from downloading until the limit was reset.

and it’s been the policy since 2020

A small number of 3D Warehouse users have been downloading very large numbers of models, thousands in a day, every day. This activity is clearly not for their personal enjoyment of 3D Warehouse. It is content aggregation and a violation of the [3D Warehouse Terms of Use](https://stg-3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/tos/).

what are you doing with those ? at some point if you need that much stuff, time to uninstall your cracked 2018 version and get a proper subscription.  
Can you show us the model you’re working on ? with so many elements in it I’m curious.

no idea, I’ve never hit the limit.

hahaha quite the joker.

Now go [fix your profile with proper infos.](https://forums.sketchup.com/t/guide-how-to-fill-in-your-profile-when-someone-asks-you-to/241983)  
Since you can’t download models, you have nothing better to do. and it’ll take 10 min.

**It’s not really funny.** I know that whatever I put in the 3DWH is up for grabs by anybody walking by, but I work hard to try to make nice models, and I like to show off my work. If I use someone else’s model…I make sure the viewer knows who that model belongs to because they created that model - not me. If the Warehouse belonged to me, not only would the download limit be **MUCH** lower… if a user didn’t have any proper models of his/her own, they would be blocked from downloading other people’s stuff.

Do like @monospaced suggested… go build some stuff of yer own.

Just my 2 cents…
