Hi,
I know the real answer to this question is cough up and pay for a subscription, but I was wondering if it would be viable for sketchfab to give us non premium users just 1 draft model to use without it getting deleted?
I understand the need not to store endless models/textures on the servers, but having just 1 draft model that you can edit, tweak until you’ve finished it and are ready to publish would be really handy
pretty please 
thanks

Hi Nick. You can have as many draft models as you want, regardless of the plan you’re on. Draft models, regardless of plan type, are deleted after 30 days.
Sure - i meant just having 1 draft that you could have there as long as you like rather than unlimited.
Ah, I see. What would be the purpose of having an eternal draft?
Hi,
Perhaps im being too picky - as 30 days is a nice amount of time. Its just that I tend to reupload my models quite frequently as I progress my work to see how it looks. If the 30 days runs out ill just have to setup the scene again with lights and settings again, which I suppose isn’t the end of the world (just me being lazy as usual 
)
The purpose of having an eternal draft Abby is not loosing the 3d settings, as there isn t a feature built in sketchfab to save the settings you made. You ll have to redo the whole 3d settings each time you lose the draft(lighting, materials, post etc). While i don t agree with having a single eternal draft as myself do alot of animation testings and need more drafts, i can see the value in not losing my 3d setting on some draft scenes.
I get that, but why do you need to keep a model in draft for more than 30 days? If you’re not planning to publish it anyway…
Hi
My plan would be to ultimately publish the model, it’s just that most of the time it takes me quite a bit of tinkering and reimporting before I’m ready to publish. So ideally I wouldn’t have to set up all the lights, materials etc. again if I lose the draft.
Like I say, I may have been a bit hasty in my post as 30 days is quite generous. But i thought it might be nice just to have 1 draft that you can keep in perpetuity for your latest piece
Like the previous poster mentioned, if there was a save/copy/paste feature for settings then I guess this would be a mute point
Hope that makes sense
We think 30 days is enough, so we’re not planning to add this ‘1 perpetual draft’ feature.
Fair enough. How about the save/load settings feature? 
I’ll add it to our feature request list.
Many thanks
