What 3D Warehouse is

3D Warehouse is a searchable library of ready-made 3D models and materials for SketchUp. Search by keyword, phrase, or image, then narrow results using criteria such as file size, polygon count, and file type. Anyone can browse and open models without an account. Signing in enables uploading and liking content, creating collections, and maintaining a library of uploads, saved items, collections, and an analytics dashboard.

The library is accessible through SketchUp for Desktop, SketchUp for Web, SketchUp for iPad, and a web browser. Model downloads are maintained in the current SketchUp version, the two preceding versions, and the version used for the original upload; older SketchUp versions can download COLLADA files. Materials can be brought into a SketchUp model or downloaded as standalone .skm files. Models below 10 MB or 200,000 polygons can be converted to USD or GLB and shared for augmented reality viewing on Android or iOS using a QR code. Models, materials, and environments in the SketchUp Content Library are free to all 3D Warehouse users.
