Understanding the two warehouses
Before we can get into any specifics on how these sites work, let’s spend a little bit of time understanding what purpose they offer and how to access them. In this chapter, we will specifically be talking about these two websites:
- Extension Warehouse (https://extensions.sketchup.com)
- 3D Warehouse (https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com)
Both of these sites are owned and operated by Trimble and are available to everyone to view. While there are some similarities in the look and feel of these pages, they both serve very different functions. Let’s dive into the purpose that each serves and take a look at how they are maintained, as well as specific uses that they may provide for you in your effort to level up your SketchUp game.
Extension Warehouse
We spent a whole chapter talking about extensions in Chapter 11, What Are Extensions?, so we probably do not need to get into the nitty-gritty about the purpose of extensions...
