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

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.

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/sketchfab-uploader-plugin-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:

Not sure what the problem is then but no more time to fuss with it.
GF's B'day is tomorrow and still have to finish the spalted maple
bowl, and a couple other gifts.

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

https://sketchfab.com/show/r5aNRYjPwJP52fGwxA7ESk72TR9

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.

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

"That's too bad :(
While your browser seems to support WebGL, it is disabled or unavailable.
If possible, please ensure that you are running the latest drivers for
your video card."

Maybe I need a plug-in?
