Sketchup of course has Warehouse. Rendering platforms come with their own models (I’m about to try out D5 Render). The models are good but usually meshes and resource heavy (and don’t present themselves well inside technical drawings). Rhino models with clean nurb surfaces tend to give me the best bang for buck. I really wish we had 10% of what Sketchup has. Quality over quantity is real… but our quantity is so minimal…
FWIW I’ve got TurboSquid open in another tab and it looks really good. Haven’t downloaded any models yet thought.
Hi @keithscadservices,
Dimensions.com has a good number of 3D models that play nicely with Rhino (many come with .3dm format)
They aren’t render models but they do work pretty well for representational assets in architecture drawings/models.

These look really good. Lots of free stuff and $16/month for “Pro”, “cancel any time”. They are probably costing themselves money by not lowering the subscription fee. $5/month or less and I’d probably just forget about the monthly cost. But at that price I’m probably going to sign up for one or two months and go on a download spree.
I often price things this way. How much is my labor/time worth? How long will it take me to create something comparable? What is that cost vs my cost
But yea at 16/month even if you only get 20 models that’s still a good price.
A different website that has good quality 3D models at a fixed price of $7/per model is https://3dsky.org/
However, these are definitely geared toward the visualization crowd and some of the models are quite detailed/large file size and not natively Rhino compatible.
