Trimble 3D Warehouse

The Trimble 3D Warehouse (formerly Google 3D Warehouse) is an accompanying website for SketchUp where modelers can upload, download and share three dimensional models. The site was created on April 24, 2006.

The site enables modelers to create collections of models and uses algorithms to determine similar models. Individual models can be viewed in 3D from within a browser. PC World reported in 2008 that 3D Warehouse allows users without significant artistic inclination to make and populate 3D models.

The New York Times reported in 2008 that 3D Warehouse had become a virtual "dictionary" of 3D vocabulary, reporting its suitability in film making, for example:

Google Earth

3D Warehouse allows models to be loaded to Google Earth after review for accuracy. Users can select the option when uploading their models to verify if it is "Google Earth Ready," which will verify if the building is a real, current, and correctly located model of the building. If a "Google Earth Ready" model is submitted, within a few weeks, the model will go through a review of several Google employees who check the models qualifications under certain acceptance criteria. If the model passes, it is added to the "3D Warehouse Layer," and will soon be visible within Google Earth itself by checking the box in the sidebar that is labeled "3D Buildings."
