3D Warehouse I – Accessing and searching

What is 3D Warehouse? It is the largest online source of free, premade 3D models. It is a website that also works seamlessly with SketchUp, where millions of people upload and download models. You can save time by downloading 3D models (such as furniture!) from 3D Warehouse instead of building the 3D models from scratch.
