Where are materials stored?
-
I have a 'library' in my Materials list called Alex (that's me). But I don't know where the file is. When I got to Program Files (86)> Google SketchUp 7 > Materials all the other material categories are there but not Alex. Alex has a material in it. I can access the material and use it but I don't know where it is.
Thanks in advance.

Could be you pathed to "Alex" in a different folder? In Sketchup> Window> Preferences> Files>> Materials. Check the path. Or, do a Windows search to look for the file extension..is it ".mat"? do: *.mat
I hope I understood your question. Better yet, I hope I gave you the right answer.

Thanks.
You understood my question perfectly.
I wish there was a way to put my cursor over something and have the whole file path for that item displayed (or is there a way to do that but I'm not aware of it?).
I'm working on a brand new computer that has very few files on it (heaven!) so not being able to find that particular file is sort of aggravating. I made a new material library so it's no big deal. I just want to avoid going mad spending hours trying to find where the file is in my computer.
For future reference - the file ext. is .skm

When I create new libraries for materials or for styles or components, I just stick them in the Materials, Styles or Components directories so I don't have to go searching for them in other places on my computer.
