      I use SU 2018 and noticed the warehouse no longer supports this version, is there a way to convert models to an earlier version without needing a new version?

        Howzit Pete! Take a look at "Open Newer Version".

          You need the most recent version to do the conversion.

          You're stuck with COLLADA for interoperability. COLLADA is a superior 3D file format. Hopefully they implement USD file format so the industry stops this constant proprietary files issues people run into.

          3DS then OBJ then FBX then GLTF and now USD. The race to a universal 3d file format looks to be USD.

            Can't one just download from 3DW to their local machine and then open in SU Web and then download to an older format? Yes a few extra steps but is this not possible? As a Pro subscriber I get SU Shop when I use the web version so I can't verify what the free web version does.
