Where is my Warehouse?

[Steve Maskery]

Hi all
Something strange has happened to my SU installation - I don't have 3D Warehouse on the menu bar any more. The SU help tells me how to use 3DW but not how to install it. It also tells me I have the latest version of SU5 installed.

Can anyone put me out of my misery - preferably quickly as I have a deadline!

OK, I've found the 3DW - it the Google Earth Plugin. I removed a lot of plugins last time I installed SU after a new XP installation.

However, I now have another problem.

When downloading a model it used to ask me if I wanted to import it directly into my current model. Now it just opens it as a new model. Why?

I'm really out of practice, aren't I?

OK, while I was making that, you've come up with a new one.

I don't know for sure why it doesn't ask. I'll see if I can find something.

I wonder if that could be a cookies thing. It works for me. Are you clicking the Download Model button?

Hi Dave
It doesn't say "Download Model" it says "Download to Google Sketchup". I'm not using GSU I'm using SU5.

I then get a standard dialog box asking me if I want to open or save this file.

Any help?

 

[SketchUp Guru]

This is what I see. I'm using SU5, too.

Where your button says "Download Model", mine says "Download to Google Sketchup". I think I must have the wrong plugin installed. I reckon I've downloaded the GE plugin for GSU and I need to find the plugin for SU5.

 

[Steve Maskery]

Yep, that's the problem. I've downloaded the latest GE plugin and all is tickety-boo.

Dave, thanks very much indeed, helpful and timely as usual. Much appreciated.
