      In Preferenes/Files/Components I've shown my components to be in E:\Dropbox\08 Sketchup\Components, but when I open SU they don't appear.
      The same problem with Materials.
      I've put them in Dropbox to conserve space on my C:/ drive which is an SSD.

      If I have to put these files in C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\SketchUp, what's the use of the file preferences?

      i7-4930K 3.4Ghz, 2x GTX780 6GB, 32GB DDR3-1600 ECC, OCZ Vertex 4 500GB, WD Black 3TB, 32TB NAS, 4x 27" Monitors, SpaceMouse Pro, X-keys XK-60

        They don't have to be in C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\SketchUp but assets should be stored locally.

        Did you add the component folders you have to your Favorites in the Components window?
