Hello,
I understand what sketchup replied to me: “Unfortunately, we cannot offer any interpretations of our End User License Agreement and Terms of Use.” But to be honest, offering 3D models is part of their business model, and I specifically asked about the commercial use of 3D models in my animated film “niemandsland”. The last possible solution to obtain legal certainty is to send an inquiry directly to the author. This is exactly what is explicitly mentioned in several tutorials and in the end Sketchup initially responded with this argument itself: Unfortunately, direct contact is simply not possible due to a lack of contact details and the rest do not answer. Sketchup operates worldwide, unfortunately only refers to its own terms and conditions in English, even with specific questions. In doing so, they spread more uncertainty than necessary.
Who can help?
