SketchUp to Sketchfab.com Uploader (2.5.1)

SketchUp to Sketchfab.com Uploader is the newest sketchup extension developed Alex Schreyer. This plugin allows the users to distribute interactive 3D content from sketchup on the web devoid of installing a browser plugin.

It is compatible with SketchUp 2014, SketchUp 2015, SketchUp 2016, SketchUp 2017, SketchUp 2018.

The users will be able to uload their SketchUp models to the 3D (WebGL) viewing, rendering, and sharing website Sketchfab. Sketchfab is a very user-friendly website that allows anyone to upload 3D models, demonstrate them with WebGL, and allocate them with the globe.

After being installed, the extension includes a menu item “Upload to Sketchfab” to the File menu in SketchUp. Prior to upload any model, just make registration on Sketchfab’s website and obtain a “secret API token” that connects the uploads to your account. You will get that token on your personal account settings page once registration is completed.

As soon as the model is uploaded, it is possible to edit parameters and materials, grab a thumbnail or modity the default view on the Sketchfab website.

Application: Go to File > Upload to Sketchfab > Upload Model and transmit your complete model (or only the selected objects) to the cloud. Ensure you have first obtained your API token from the Sketchfab website. It is required to paste that token into the uploader dialog.

This sketchup extension is available in extension warehouse (extensions.sketchup.com)
