Keith_K Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Could some please direct me to somewhere where I could find shopfittings suitable for a large petrol (gas) station shop including refrigeration. This should preferable be very easy to download and use from my library for I am very much a simpleton in matter of downloading and adapting technical things. Thanks in advance.

katalyst777 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 KB-00888: Importing 3D SymbolsThis Knowledge Base article has instructions on importing, as well as a link to the 3D Warehouse, which is probably the largest resource for free 3D symbols.If you find a symbol you just want parts of, then its not too much more work to download and install the free version of SketchUp so you can delete the elements that you don't want, resave the symbol, and then import the new version to Home Designer.You might want to use some non-specific search terms too, like the ones below as examples.https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=petrolhttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=gas+stationhttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=convenience+storehttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=refrigeration+casehttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=store+shelveshttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=display+casehttps://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=cash+register 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 did you try 3D warehouse? you might need to refine your search terms , to the items you need as the term "shopfittings" didn't get too many hits... https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search.html?q=shopfittings&rsi=sbis&backendClass=entity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_K Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Thank you. I found most of what I was looking for in the links above. However, when I try and import the .skp file I get an error message. I have tried the help data base but I can't seem to find a solution that will allow the import and the adding to my library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo_Ann Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This most likely means that the skp file that you downloaded, was done in a newer version of sketchup (that HD won't open). So, you have to download and install the free version of the sketch-up program. Then, open the symbol in sketch-up, and do a 'save as' sketch-up 8 for the symbol (in the drop-down menu). If the symbol still won't open for you, do a 'save as' sketch-up 7. Installing the sketch-up program isn't a total waste, because you will need to use it frequently to do a 'save as' for most symbols. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
