It makes more sense to offer those users a single file type that works with any SketchUp version.Īnother reason for the lack of support has to do with changes in web security and, for some versions discontinuation of security updates for Internet Explorer which was used for the interface with the Warehouse. Server space costs money and users of Make and old Pro versions aren’t doing anything to help with those costs.
Not a far flung or disjointed thing at all. The Collada version has been offered to users for more than a decade. ( I would expect them to drop support for SketchUp 2019 within the next month or so although that’s only a guess.) That saves server space because they don’t need to convert and store uploaded components and models for a whole bunch of SketchUp versions. They did delay dropping support for 20 until last year but I imagine COVID had something to do with that. The 3D Warehouse has normally only supported the current and previous two versions of SketchUp for years. I wonder how people are expected to know about Collada? This seems another example of Sketchup/Trimbe being very far flung and disjointed.
