      Hi,

      I've been using SUPro 2013 on Mac for a couple of months. The materials browser used to open when clicking paint bucket but now does not. I have to open it manually from the Window menu after clicking the paint bucket, which is slow and not as it should be.

      I've tried clicking reset workspace/show dialogs etc but no success.

      Any ideas on a solution would be appreciated.

      Thanks

      David

        I've now solved the problem, which was due to corrupt preferences. The solution procedure was as follows:

        1. Close SketchUp.
        2. Open a Finder window.
        3. Click Go in the top menu bar, press and hold the Option key, then click Library when it appears in the list.
        4. Click Preferences.
        5. Click and drag the file com.sketchup.sketchup.plist to Trash.
        6. Launch SketchUp.
