Google recently updated the Embed Code that users can copy from a 3D Warehouse model page which enables you to post an interactive 3D View of the model on any site (or blog).

Here’s a model we created recently for Dacor that includes installation information - could be a nice thing to have handy on the job site.

We’re certainly excited about this update as we think it only helps improve upon the many ways in which SketchUp models can be re-purposed as portable online media content.

Another exciting aspect to this recent update is the ability to quickly snatch the Google Earth Embed code for Geo Located models. This is a model of the Renaissance Montura LAX Hotel in Los Angeles, CA.

For more information about this 3D Warehouse feature you can check out this post on the Google SketchUp blog.

The Dacor Appliance Dynamic Component Collection we’ve recently added to the 3D Warehouse includes some of the most intricate appliance models ever posted to the warehouse. We’ve taken full advantage of Dynamic interaction options to create appliances with doors that swing open, drawers that slide out, and information dialog boxes that link back to the manufacturer website. These models also include installation information including cutout dimensions and utility hook-ups as can be seen in this 48″ Built-in Refrigerator from Dacor’s Epicure Series.

We launched this collection just in time to demo the collection at KBIS 2009 and the reaction was phenomenal. This is one component collection you’ve just got to download and check out for yourself.
