re: Sketchup 2017, 2018 and 2019 Support Ending Jan. 31, 2023

Update:  I've been using using Collada format to import drawings from the 3D Warehouse.  That often yields ugly and difficult to edit components so it is not a great solution.  In another thread,  LBD told me about an extension that you can add to older versions that will import and convert drawings downloaded from 3DW in a current Sketchup version to the older one.  I gave it a try last night and it works well.  This is a great tip so I thought that I would pass it on.  I am a little surprised that Trimble allows this extension on their website since it might tend to reduce the number of people that are forced to pay to upgrade to a new version.  I will update the OP with a link to the extension.
