I've installed the following packages on my ubuntu to enable a better wine usage and configuration with sketchup make 2017: winbind, cabextract. If you don't have installed it yet, mybe you should. Use winetricks to easy the installation and setup process. I have evolved this installation process with time. My installation process was a little bit different than what is described in the how-to section. I've not tested printing, exporting and some other things. This present installation was more clean with less workarounds. Used winetricks to setup as win7 and install vcrun2019 and corefonts in order to avoid some problems (like a crash of the sketchup_webhelper.exe file).Īlthough I noticed a big improvement on wine compared to my old install on an old Ubuntu 18.04 with wine 5. I don't know if there are other issues in that kind of clean installation. But this only happens if you make a direct installation. Opened files I already have (simple and complex ones), changed things, saved.Īt least a crash of the sketchup_webhelper.exe file on every move you make of the mouse on sketchup screen. I've made a very basic usage, tested the main tools I use, working with layers and so on. To see the Materials feature in action, check out the following video.Everything that I've tested works fine, including modelling, downloading models from 3DWarehouse, installing plugins and so on. You can then add the SKM file to your local SketchUp content folders.

If you accessed 3D Warehouse through a web browser, the SKM file for that material downloads.

Click on the surface that you want to apply the material to, and, you’re done!

If you accessed 3D Warehouse from SketchUp 2017, SketchUp then retrieves the material from 3D Warehouse and activates the Paint Bucket tool with the material loaded and ready to go.

When you find a material, click the Download link. You then see a list of the materials along with a bit of info about each one, as shown in the following figure.

In the stats panel, click the Materials link.

Open the details page for the model whose material you want to download.To find and download a component’s material directly in 3D Warehouse, follow these steps: When all you want is a material (such as brick, tile, or grass), importing a whole component from 3D Warehouse into your model can bloat the file with content you neither want nor need.įortunately, you can download only the material.
