Formerly known as CC0Textures, AmbientCG is a massive library of seamless PBR textures.

The term "free" still appears frequently in relation to FredoScale for two main reasons:

For over a decade, FredoScale was distributed as donationware. It was completely free to download and use from the SketchUp Extension Warehouse and SketchUcation Premium Forums. Transition to a Paid Model

Built directly into Blender, BlenderKit offers thousands of free assets. While the "Pro" tier requires payment, the free tier is robust and legally safe.

Open SketchUp, navigate to Extensions > Extension Manager > Install Extension , and select the downloaded files (install LibFredo6 first, then FredoScale).

Yes — FredoScale v3.1a is fully compatible with SketchUp Make 2017. This is an excellent combination for users who prefer to stay on the last free version of SketchUp itself.
