might have to zoom in a bit at first, as the scale of the model is
apparently not handled all that well at this stage of technology

I'm of the opinion that this technology could be both a boon for
woodworking, and particularly in advancing the discussion of woodworking.

Apparently all that is left to make it topical on the wRec is a
mechanism for automatically injecting gun control, electrical
one-upmanship, politics, celebrity tits and ass, or inane arguments
about the pursuit of accuracy.

It looks interesting, and I intend to dig a little deeper. Is there a
way to show dimensions in the presentation?

Not sure ... soon as I get this gumbo started, I'll try one and see.
Stay tuned.

I uploaded that same chair, but with dimensions in all views, and the
dimensions did not show up in the test:

I'm going to email the developers and see if that is something planned
for the future.

Like you, I would like that to see that capability, but we may be a bit
early in the adoption department.

Nevermind... found it and enabled it.
Stuck during load, however.... we'll see what happens.

This is cool, is there any thing special to get this to this point?

Not really ... there is a plugin for Sketchup that allows you to export
directly to their SketchFab website:

http://www.alexschreyer.net/projects...-for-sketchup/

You can export out of the Pro version to some of their formats also, but
it looks like you need to zip up the material files with that.

With the above plug-in that is not necessary.

Apparently you can use the embedded viewer much like you embed a YouTube
video.

BTW, the basic version is free:

Doesn't work with WE and in Firefox all I get is a picture of the
chair. Same message as you, and I actually updated all my drivers
today. Firefox on my android phone does work, but to small to enjoy.
Go to Webgl.org and it will show what browsers are fully supported.

Not sure what the problem is then but no more time to fuss with it.
