On the question of honoring a SketchUp 8 Pro license (though it could also be a 6 or 7, those were the versions made at Google), as with the 3D Warehouse, support only goes back three versions, and 8 is seven versions ago. I’m going to set up a virtual machine with an older Mac OS, so I can continue to test those things. I do have SketchUp 8 installed, but I’m running macOS 10.15 (Catalina), and all applications that old don’t run. The nice thing about using the Components panel for searching is that you’re only shown models that are going to work ok in the version you are using. I tried this model as a test:Īnd can find it using the Components panel, and insert it into a SketchUp 2016 document.

Searches in the Components panel continue to work well. You still usually have Collada or KMZ as options, and those would work fine in SketchUp 8. You’re on Mac, so you don’t have that problem.Īnother thing, which isn’t a change, is that for all newer models the warehouse only offers the last three versions of SketchUp as a download format.

That is, the site code is using HTML features that won’t work in IE. One recent change in the 3D Warehouse is that for Windows users of 2016 and earlier, the integrated Internet Explorer isn’t supported anymore.
