![Install Extension](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/6/c/6c8b7eeb273aa39abf9ee8e420ae78364f157c4a.png) [Material Replacer – Pool Table & garbage can.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/jcIfex0EZuamxQEWTETwNOiiRyP.skp) (299.1 KB) I’m studying the Customizing Downloaded Assets lesson of the Commercial Interiors course. They suggest using a free extension called Material Replacer. I found it in the Extensions Warehouse and tried downloading it. ![Material Replacer, Extension Manager](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/1/c/1ca32176ca7d911cff3e8999a5049dabdea1235f.png) I see a very limited number of folders in which I can install it. Where should I install Material Replacer so that it will show up when I click the Extensions tab? Peter Enns ---

It looks like you have it installed correctly based on the image. Look under Tools for Material Replacer. ![Screenshot 2024-03-28 000247](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/4/0/402f524b214e6b795e6c4c8fd97628e39b3ceaf1.png) If you are using the Extension Warehouse and Extension Manager they should install extensions to the correct folder for you. ---

Do you have any other ideas on how I can get Materials Replacer to work? Peter Enns ---

Thank you very much. Peter Enns
