Is there a way to use the downloadable 3D objects found in Google Warehouse as an AC Library Object?

Unfortunately, the SketchUp Import Addon is only for Windows, not Mac. See http://www.graphisoft.com/products/archicad/solutions/su_plugin_download.html for the reason.

Do you have access to Archicad on a Windows machine? Alternatively, if you have Sketchup Pro, you can export as 3ds and then import into AC.

Round and about...

Hi!

it is possible ... using the google earth package for archicad . it has an option to import sketchup objects directly from 3dwarehouse. but,unfortunately, as for the skp addons it is not for mac users....

pS: wasn't the sketchup addon available for ac12 for a short time?!

Thanks Gentlemen:

That's a shame. I certainly understand why most software are available only for Windows but I still find it very frustrating. Regretably I do not have access to AC for Windows. I thought Google 3D objects were initially available for Mac users too. What happened?

We Mac users at least have the huge advantage of being able to define percentage scaling of printouts in Adobe Reader!

I guess it doesn't hurt to look on the bright side!

I don't know about that, but I'm wondering if anyone knows an approximate release date for this add-on.

Thank you,
