Introducing 3D Warehouse Detailed Collections
Remember Component Bonus Packs? 2D and 3D trees, furniture and accessories, wood joists and roof details: these components, authored by the SketchUp team, have been a consistent staple of 3D Warehouse for years. With the release of SketchUp 2015, we've greatly expanded and improved SketchUp's standard component collections.
As of today, more than 2,800 individual detailed pieces of new SketchUp-authored content are available on 3D Warehouse. As you browse the new Detailed Collections, you'll find that many standard components, like this theater light, have been improved with a much greater level of detail.

Similar to their predecessors, the updated and improved components are generic in nature. These new, detailed components have been uploaded alongside the simplified counterparts; the titles of new components end with "Detailed." For example, the search result for "HMI Light 4000Watts with Barndoors" will display both the simplified and detailed versions of the component. It's important to note that these new detailed components are typically more "geometry heavy" (a.k.a. higher polygon count), which means you should consider how they're used in your SketchUp model. You may consider using simplified components as proxies and replace those with the detailed versions when appropriate (just take note of component insertion points).

You can access this treasure trove of content by browsing 3D Warehouse Detailed Collections via SketchUp's 3D Warehouse window (File > 3D Warehouse > Get Models) or via your web browser. You can find all components and collections created by the SketchUp team by visiting our 3D Warehouse profile.
In addition to visual improvements, these components are also jam-packed with all sorts of useful information, including IFC attributes. Try exporting to Tekla BIMsight or Trimble Connect – both accept IFC files. You'll see that the IFC metadata transfers too!

The release of this content provides a great excuse to browse 3D Warehouse in search of new components to include in your projects. We've taken special care to include relevanttags in each component so users can search and find exactly what they need. There are collections for Seating, Electronics, Jibs and Cranes... and many more! We hope you're able to take advantage of this new content and that it helps you more quickly and more accurately express your ideas.
