Nemetschek North America announced that the VectorWorks Design Series is compatible with content in the new Google™ SketchUp® 3D Warehouse. All users of VectorWorks Architect, VectorWorks Landmark, VectorWorks Spotlight, and VectorWorks Designer version 12 have immediate access to the wealth of 3D content in this warehouse.
The 3D Warehouse is a digital warehouse for thousands of models that are available at no cost to VectorWorks Design Series users. VectorWorks users can directly import SKP models into their VectorWorks designs.
"SketchUp did a fantastic job of making 3D easy for everyone, and now–as the interface for this new 3D Warehouse–they're going to make 3D objects easy for everyone to find and share," says Sean Flaherty, Nemetschek North America chief executive officer. "We plan to continue our compatibility work with SketchUp to make 3D models more accessible to VectorWorks users and will continue working to investigate new ways Nemetschek North America can participate in this exciting development. Since the VectorWorks Design Series can read native SketchUp files, the warehouse will open a vast container of content for VectorWorks users to tap into."
