3DXchange should support newer Sketchup versions

Trimble has made a change to 3DWarehouse, such that only Sketchup models in versions 2017, 2018, and 2019 can be downloaded.

None of these versions are supported by 3DXchange; the latest supported version is Sketchup 2015.

It would be great if 3DXchange were to be updated so that the latest Sketchup versions are supported.

Thanks for the tips, Ascensi. It seems the best we can do for now is using alternatives.

It would be nice, though, to have at least a word from RL as to what is to be expected in the future, unless they have no idea themselves...

Forgot to mention, if you use the newest version of Meshlab, you can download the Collada files from the 3d Warehouse then open it in meshlab and then export it to obj etc.

This is the more critical, because Trimble no longer provides a free desktop version of Sketchup, so conversion is not an easy option. I tried to install Sketchup 2017, but it causes a blue screen before finishing the installation.

So I think this is kind of urgent.

I'm in the same situation as Craig (ckalan) .....

I use Sketchup and find it a very intuitive 3d modeling program. The warehouse is full of great models. I hope that iclone updates 3dxchange to make it possible to import models like it used to. 
Thanks
