Backgrounds in images in 3D warehouse

Al Hart

We get some images for our menus directly from the 3D warehouse.

They used to have white backgrounds - but now they have the SketchUp background in the image.

Here is an item which has been on the 3D warehouse for a couple years:

3D Warehouse is a website of searchable, pre-made 3D models that works seamlessly with SketchUp.

(3dwarehouse.sketchup.com)

Its 3D warehouse image used to look like this:

(3dwarehouse.sketchup.com)

(Note: the URL is on the 3D warehouse - but no longer on the page with the component.

The image now looks like this:

(3dwarehouse.sketchup.com)

Question

Does anyone know when and/or why this changed?

Does anyone know a switch on option on the warehouse page to view the old image?

Probably you'll get a faster answer from one of the Trimble Team if you post at:

Those responsible monitor that forum.

I posted this to get ideas from other SketchUcation members.

I "fixed" it be downloading the 3D Warehouse models, turning off the ground plane, setting the background color to white, and then re-uploading them.

Well, you never said they were YOUR models.

Of course you are responsible, if you left the ground plane turned on. LOL
