      Good day
      I have recently had to reinstall Sketchup Pro 17 after a motherboard failure.
      I can see all my materials and components in their folders on the hard drive but can not access them from within Sketchup.
      Sketchup is installed on "G" drive and all the components and materials are visible in their respective folders under the main sketchup folder.
      How do I get SketchUp to recognise them.
      Thank you for your help.

        Have you set up the paths to those folders ?
        Done in SketchUp > Window > Preferences > Files [for each type of folder]

        What's a typical path for you ?

        PS:
        In v2017 you should really set up your own Materials/Components/etc folders in:
        C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\SketchUp
        Rather than SketchUp's own [protected] 'Program Files' folder...

        Here are mine...

          Much obliged.
