Is there a way to copy the “named materials” from an older version of SketchUp to SketchUp 2026?
I think we have had this discussion before but I could not find it.
Is there a way to search the forum? I do not see search option anywhere and think there should be a search option.

Just make a new materials library. That way when SketchUp 2027 drops it is easy migrate materials to that version.

Yes, there is a search icon next to the bell.

Neither of the icons next to the bell on my devices provide a "search" capability. The one to the left of the bell says "Mark Unread" and the one to the right of the bell says "Sort By". Thus, I wanted to find the old thread where we discussed the older version of the "named colors" (which actually shows the colors in a solid color and shows the name of the color).
I will look at copying the named colors folder from my older version of SketchUp to the 2026 version though and set something up so I can also use it in future versions though. Thanks for that thought.

I just found the desired texture folders and copy pasted them from 2024 to 2026. Works fine and is basically what the Trimble folk suggested.

Where are you seeing the magnifying glass (search) icon? I am not seeing it on either my laptop or iPad.

@ntxdave
The magnifying glass button is the first of the four icons at the right-hand end of the topmost title bar of the forum itself, NOT in the the title bar of the first post in a thread to the left of the 'Reply' button... -
That is an embarrassing DUH on my part. I don't know what the heck I was thinking. It is there clear as day.
I am embarrassed beyond belief
