The "3D Warehouse" is a library of 3D objects that are freely accessible through the Internet. A search engine allows you to find the desired object amongs the thousands of objects the library contains. The "3D Warehouse" contains both everyday items and architecture elements.

All you need to do is search for the desired object and click on the download button for it to automatically appear in the current scene.

Before appearing, a dialog box will allow you to input the measurements of the object, to give it various attributes (reference, description, price, etc.) and to change its colours by default.


To use the "3D Warehouse", go to Place drop down menu and then click on 3DWarehouse object.

You then have 2 option for importing the object into InSitu:

- either by directly performing a drag and drop of the object from the 3D Warehouse window towards InSitu in your project.

- or by clicking on the image to open it, seeing the information about the object, and then clicking the "Download" button

You can also download the object from your Internet browser to import it into through the following technique:

STEP 1 - DOWNLOADING THE OBJECT

1 - Launch your web browser: Chrome, Edge or Firefox (the 3D Warehouse website no longer works with Internet Explorer).

2 - Enter this url https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/ in your browser.

3 - Search for the object in the database as you usually would.

4 - Click on the blue Download arrow and choose the 2022 format. Careful, the 3D warehouse website now requires you to be signed up. Create an account if you haven't already.
