Trouble Importing 3D Object

[ajml4545]

I am using Home Designer Architectural 2014 and trying to import objects from the 3D warehouse. The issue I am running into is that the objects I am importing seem to have all of the models from the brand, not just the specific one I am looking for. So when I import the object into my plan I get 3 stoves/fridges rather than just 1. Is there a simple way to just select the one that I want that I am missing?

If it helps these are some of the objects I am trying to use:

Thanks!

Thanks David - I was actually following the directions there but the issue I am running into is the object I am uploading is really 3 objects in one and I only want to show one of them. How can I trim that down to just the area I want (not just resize the whole image?)

Here is a picture of what I see:



Thanks,

You may need to edit the object with Sketch-Up.

"Explode" the object to separate the ranges.
Delete the ones you don't want.
Save the new object.
Import it into your model.

Thanks, that worked perfectly! I didn't realize I could just download sketch-up and edit those myself. Thank you!
