There are also plugins like C元VER and Spread3D which also give you some of those capabilities. I can animate the component like is done with a DC using plugins like SketchyPhysics, Keyframe Animation and SU Animate and then export to a movie. The drawback that I see (I honestly have not developed one) is that you must be in an environment that allows you to trigger the animation of the object. movies, WebGL or one of the 3D viewers - see next paragraph). IMHO the future is not necessarily in DC's themselves but rather is in the ability to share your 3D models in an online environment that allows you to do both "walk thru" and object/component animations (i.e. Interesting that no one else has replied but I will give you my take: In short, I wonder if I should continue to investigate DCs in their current incarnation or wait for the upgrade to continue?Īnyone have any news or thoughts they can share? I also wonder if there is a future for DCs in SketchUp or if the DCs on the Warehouse will be updated with new attributes or capabilities. Now please don't view this query in the light of some '40s Hollywood starlet, back of the hand to the forehead in a feigned near swoon whilst she cries, "Whatever can this mean? I know we are on the verge of an upgrade. My DC exercises ( Vertical Blinds and DC Desk), rudimentary as the are, still worked at last check. However, most of the ones I visited were likewise empty. However, Chris Fullmer among others, have been kind enough to send me links to DC examples too many not authored by SketchUp. Many of the DCs 'emptied' have been from there such as the DCs linked from Dynamic Components Function Examples. I am new to DCs (and SketchUp for that matter) so I visited the help pages at. The effort seems to be somewhat extensive but not comprehensive.

However, I still cannot sign in - there is still the message “ Couldn’t sign you in This browser or app may not be secure. And it seems that everything loads properly. I launched SU2017 and sure enough, the Warehouse opened up when I clikked the 3DWH button in the toolbar.

You may need to even sign out, then sign in with Chrome.

SketchUp 20 are showing the 3D Warehouse window contents ok now.įor 2020 Design in particular, I found that I needed to go to in the Chrome browser to do the sign in step, then the window in 2020 Design worked ok. The issue that had been introduced by changes to comply with more recent versions of Chromium, has been fixed. Ran across the following in the thread Using 3D warehouse products in 20-20 design software.
