Docs-like collaboration in 3D Warehouse
-
Hi All,
Google yesterday announced that they implemented Docs-like collaboration for SketchUp models in 3D Warehouse. Looks quite promising. Here are my first tries to put this to good use:
Cheers,
Alex -
Yes, it's a pretty cool feature!
-
sounds really nice. but it also means that everyone in the world can follow the work progress, right? secret project are therefore not a good idea
-
I only read over the google blog about it quickly, but from the sounds of it you can choose who has access to the model as well, so you dont have to worry about your little secrets being released to the world.
-
OK, just to show off how quickly I have learnt the new features
-
The model history is only shown to those who are collaborators (or when it is set publicly editable)
-
you can share the model with certain people (you can even directly add emails from your gmail acount)
-
the share option has several features/stages:
-
Everyone can download and edit then upload (back).
-
only collaborator can do this while others can download (like it was before)
-
people (non collaborators) can see the model but cannot download
-
no-one can see the model except collaborators.
-
owners have some special rights - like they cannot be removed from the collaborators' list
-
owners can define certain degrees of rights of collaborators (all must be the same though)* owners can define wether a chnge has to be agreed by them or not
-
-
thanks Gaieus for the detailed information. that sounds phantastic.
and Google is providing this service for free!
-
Anyone interested, I'd suggest you to make a small team (like 3-4 members) and start playing with it.
-
That sounds a really nice feature and I'm sure will prove useful to many in the future.
-
This really sounds great. Porting ideas from software development like versioning and collaborative editing to CAD only makes sense. I just wish they implemented branching. It would be so useful to create design alternatives, settle on one and then take it from there.
This looks like a major new feature. Has anyone heard if this is part of the SU7 concept - if SU7 ever comes out...

I guess it's a totally independent feature from SU7 since it works independently from any SU version.
-
This is a very interesting feature. Will have to have a look at that.
-
Seems that the WH is growing up with newer an newer features!
BTW Happy Birthday, Tom!
-
If Google only had proper for the area I live in this would have been so great when we have to collaborate with other offices where sites are located next to each other.
-
Guys the feature is there - you can/have to find ways to fill it in with content!
-
OK, we added a temporary forum to discuss this. Anyone feel free to chime in, upload models, share them with the others and test out the different features and posibilities.
-
Csaba, I've read this and think it has good possibilities
for the future. Yes indeed maybe 3DWH is GROWING UPMike
-
What would be nice is if I could upload a model and give the address to a handful of people and they could view it (zoom,pan etc) in 3dwh without downloading SU.

Maybe a small SCF collaboration test project?
-
Is anyone else surprised at the apparent complete lack of coverage? These are great, even important (to many) features that have been missed or ignored by all of my regular information sources (except Alex.)
-
Jim, could you explain a bit more about what you say?
