It appears the functionality of the free versions of this invaluable software are being progressively diminished, leaving frequent users with only a very expensive alternative to achieve the same results that have been provided free for years.
I assumed the later model versions probably would not work with my Sketchup 2017, so I tried downloading and importing the Collada version but unfortunately that didn't work either.
When downloading the item in my browser I was offered 4 options: Sketchup 2019, 2020, 0r 2021, or something called "Collada".
after payment of US$299/CA$375 to Trimble. I was able to download the item, but when I tried to import it I received a message saying it had been created in a later version of Sketchup than mine (2017) and that to complete the procedure I would have to upgrade to the current version - i.e. Reportedly it involves logging into 33 with an up to date browser using Trimble id and password, and downloading the desired warehouse item then importing the item into your Sketchup 2017 model. Using those updated browsers as noted don’t appear to provide as much info as the older app does either, ex., number of Likes, Downloads, or Views which are all available to be seen on one page but now requires numerous click-throughs to help better track the users interests.Downloading 3D warehouse items into a Sketchup 2017 model no longer works, but apparently a workaround exists. Not exactly forcing one to pay for a new version but rather maneuvering them in that direction. Have to admit that it makes it appear that an app that has a potential to draw financial support seems to get more attention to keep it working and available than one that doesn’t. Interesting that the Extension Warehouse, more than likely using the same outdated built-in browser that 3DW would be using as previously noted, seems to function fine. Access via the component toolbar doesn’t work either and scrolling the component panel is a PITA. Just my 2 cents (or 2 bits adjusting for inflation) wanting to note another user is having the same problem trying to access the warehouse thru SU17 application and just getting the virtual blank page.
