How to find SketchUp's own components?

Same thing here :confused:

If you can’t decide whether or not you want to keep it, go ahead and delete it. In a week or a month you’ll know for sure. If you leave it there, it’ll never be needed again and just clutter up the folder.

True true. Rather than throwing out all things that don’t spark joy I recommend throwing everything that doesn’t have its defined place. I should try to live by that rule myself :stuck_out_tongue: .

Maybe it’s time to do a “death clean.” :smiley:

Reminds me of a guy I once worked with. I was getting ready to move to a new house and complaining about all the stuff I’d accumulated. He said that if he came across a box that was still unopened 6 months after he’d last moved, he just threw it away without looking inside it.

Maybe I should get rich and/or famous so I can start a foundation to assure all my stuff is preserved :thinking: . It would require a lot of hard work, but so does cleaning…

Unix solved this years ago, and Mac also uses /tmp (really /private/tmp) that gets cleared on reboot. You could set that as your download folder for a browser. There are also newer strategies with Unix flavors, like tmpwatch, which will check if files aren’t accessed in x amount of time and then delete them, in Dave’s case, 6 months, or in yours, 50 years. :slight_smile:

Our firm just moved. I still brought along the cardboard box that contains older photos of projects that the firm has finished. After I and another guy have retired, there will be no one left to remember what those projects were or who the people were who participated in them. I guess that in the next move, someone will just throw the box away.

I did just that a few months ago, some 200 or more kg of archive material of projects I did. Needed the space to store beer.

200kg (or liters) of beer ?!

Aerilius, clearly you do not understand what retirement is all about: beer and SketchUp.

If I’m not mistaken beer and cookies are interchangeable.
