Why are there less paint options on 8

[woody]

Hi All

I could never get Sketchup 7 to work on my Vista computer. Sketchup 8 appears to work well, however I see there are considerably less paint options on 8. I have 42 Wood options on 6 but only 10 on 8. The same goes for Stone. Is there away of moving these added options over to 8 before I unistall 6?

Thanks
Paul

Any Components, Styles or Materials you have in sub-folders within v6 [or v7] can be copied into similar folders in the v8 folder set-up. The formats of the file types are the same since v6. So any additional materials you have in an earlier version can be copied over quite easily.

Did you perhaps download any of the extra materials packs for SU6?
