How to transfer my templates from layout 2017 to layout 2018

Cant seem to find my templates files in the layout 2017 path described in the Layout/Preferences/folders/templates section. Where did these guys go? Also not sure where to put them for layout 2018. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have my templates and libraries out of the Sketchup folders.(network drive)…IMO is better this way to keep them safe and updated.

This is where my 2017 templates are kept. You can just paste and copy to the equivalent 2018 folder.

Thx Flino, I was just wondering about that for the future. Good advice!

Thx Simoncbevans! Got it. I was going down the wrong rabbit hole on the drive to old versions of SU.

Thanks simoncbevans. Unfortunately I do not have the root folder “Library” at the same level as Music, Movies, Pictures, … Is this a folder that was created by SketchUp? I am running Windows 7.

Simon uses a Mac so his folder structure is entirely different. In a Windows machine the templates you create are stored in C:\Users\Your username\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\LayOut\Templates and the templates installed by the application are in C:\ProgramData\SketchUp\SketchUp 2018\LayOut\templates.
