Issue 5869
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.

Dear all,

We are sorry that since the new update of the SketchUp SDK provides 64-bit version only, so that we are unable to integrate the new SketchUp SDK into current 3DXchange 7. The workaround is to download an older version of SketchUp and retrograde the SKP files to version 2015.

Here is the information from the 3DXchange product web-page.

Appreciate your understanding.

It's a shame 3DExchange has lost the 3d Warehouse functionality as it was why I bought it

I am so glad that I installed SU17 when it was first released. I only use it for converting models, and I use SU8 for all of my work - ver. 8 was the last Google version released with a very open EULA. Trimble took all the "fun" out of SU when they auto converted every old model to SU16 and above.

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) .....
