Warehouse weirdness
-
I can go to https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/ in a browser and cruise around all I want, but when I try to use File>3D Warehouse>Get Models through Sketchup Pro 2014, it stalls; it may load as much as half of the initial page, but then, even after 15 minutes of sitting, it still hasn't finished and won't search. Right now, it's sitting at a completely blank browser window with a busy cursor after about 5 minutes.
Is there something different about the way Sketchup is accessing the Warehouse? Anybody got a fix for this?

One possibility,
Sketchup uses internet explorer to access the warehouse, try clearing the cache of IE even if you don't normally use it. It's also recommended that you update it. -

That does seem to have gotten it usable. Still a bit buggy, (will load some of the front page, then stall, but will still allow me to search and get the results reasonably quickly) but at least it comes up every time now.

If the IE cache situation becomes persistent, you can, on Windows make a shortcut for "inetcpl.cpl"
This is the file for the Internet Options UI. From here, you can clear your cache if you do not use the normal method, or CCleaner. -

Internet Explorer's motto should be "the most popular browser for downloading Chrome."
