      Hi All,
      I have a strange problem.
      When I go to use the materials tool only the materials IN MODEL are working.
      Even if I load a new collection when I click on a material in the that collection, the material looks alright when I select it but then appears and acts like the default material. I am using sketchup pro 2015 but strangely I have the same issue with sketchup pro 2014 and 2013 which I tested.
      My materials exist in their respective folders...
      I am using an HP z200 workstation running windows 7 professional service pack 1
      with intel x3450 2.67ghz 6gb of ram and an NVIDIA quadro fx1800.
      I have restarted my computer with no effect.
      Any ideas, Cheers, David. ๐Ÿ˜•

        Hi all,
        I have resolved this issue.
        It appears a somehow I had removed my own access to temporary settings.
        I discovered this when I tried to uninstall Sketchup in order to do a new install.
        I got an error code on the uninstall which led me to the following link.

        favicon

        (answers.microsoft.com)

        I have no idea how the problem came about butI followed the instructions in the link and all appears to be OK again...

        This also fixed a problem I had in AutoCAD producing an etransmittal folder.

        Hope this helps someone oneday....

          David, I'm happy to hear you got your problem sorted out. I imagine it would have taken a lot of folks a lot of guesses before hitting on that one. Hopefully it never happens again.
