So where can you go when you need a reliable, well-crafted model? This three-part series showcases three resources. Some have the wrong scale, some have hidden objects, some have only “loose” geometry (no groups or components), some have way too many polygons, some use too-large image files. But many, many, MANY Warehouse models are less than ideal. Many Warehouse models are wonderful, and you’ll quickly find model authors whose work you can rely on. If you rely only on the 3D Warehouse for these types of models, you’re going to run into problems. This chapter is about props – modeling or importing entourage objects such as furniture, knick-knacks, plants, and of course, people. Open and Shut Case of Insufficient Options.My “day job” project this week has been working on a chapter for an upcoming book on Modeling with SketchUp for Film and Stage Design. We offer a webinar explaining how to import and use SketchUp objects with CV: If you put in a request that they provide the correct file types to use in your drawing software, they will likely invest in making those models available to ensure they are easy for you to work with. Your hardware suppliers and manufacturers listen to you! BLUM (You’ll need credentials to get access.).GRASS (You’ll need to convert the AutoCAD files to SketchUp files.).Planit Canada Hardware packages (available to all).eSupport catalog files – available to those on active maintenance plans only.You can still use newer version models, but you have to open them on your desktop and save as 2014 before opening in CABINET VISION. CABINET VISION likes 2014 or earlier SketchUp models.
