      I get all the time this warning: "Unable to update the evaluation time. Make sure that C:\ProgramData\SketchUp 2013\SketchUp13If is writable". First I could open it, I saw that it was not ticked anywhere to make it unwritable. Now I ticked it somewhere to make it more available. I don't remember where, and I am unable to open this file. What can I do?

        Find the file.
        Select its icon.
        Write-click.
        Context-menu.
        Properties.
        Security.
        Edit...
        Give each of the users/groups listed FULL permissions.
        Apply/OK to save the changes.

        Also check that the containing folder[s] have similar rights??

        Also set SketchUp.exe to 'always run as administrator' in the Properties > Compatibility dialog...

          It is default, full permissions, I did not change anything. I have not any other maps, I did not use this version yet. I had Sketchup 8 before, but I used it very infrequently.

            Please rephrase.
            What 'Maps' ?
            The actual file/folder path you refer to is:
            C:\ProgramData\Sketchup\SketchUp 2013\SketchUp13.lf
            If the file/folder is hidden from you, you might need to change your 'Folder Options' to be able to see it ?

              Is it possible that I get this message because of my hard disc is almost full?

                Excuse me, not "maps", I mean folders.

                    Try uninstalling v2013 completely... then reinstalling v2013 from scratch...
                    Check folder permissions [including Plugins] are FULL...

                    If your Computer has very little spare disk-space I suggest you try some 'house-keeping' to tidy it up...

                      I have reinstalled and installed 5 times everything. I made "housekeeping", now I have free space. But I get this warning anyway all the time. I can continue use Sketchup, it is only irritating. 😠 I have not installed any plugins, I did not installed or saved any other folders, it is a brandnew Sketchup Make. Have you any more advice?

                        Try to start SU with administrator rights. Does this help?

                          How can I do that? I can not choose either at downloading, installing or starting the program. I am the administrator and only user of my computer.

                            Rightclick on the SU symbol, choose properties (?), compatibility (?), start program with admin rights (?)
