Hi All, The material resizer does not pick up any of the materials in the model. Is this a known bug? I have re-installed it and restarted SU. SU version 26.0.429 so not the latest. I do not want to upgrade yet as I am half way through a project so I do not want to tempt fate. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/4X/e/8/9/e897faad900b1fa1d80f25131c8c02b2469325b9.png) ---

usually it’s all white like that when all there in the file is colours. odd that it doesn’t see the flower material ? ![Capture d’écran 2026-09-11 à 15.00.19](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/4X/9/6/1/96130b650184b0e7567378d1b58f018b568e86bf.jpeg) I just tried in a SU26.2 file, with a material and colours, and it works fine… so yeah, could you share the file please ? ---

Hi Sorry been away. Here is the file. NO Materials are picked up on material resizer for this file. Do you get the same? [Astrantia major both4.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/9bz6sqCTm6S9NHRsX0nRBZRC1lP.skp) (2.1 MB) ---

I see that. I wonder if it’s because the materials are all very tiny images. The largest one is this one. ![Screenshot - 9_24_2026 , 10_46_59 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/4X/9/6/3/96345f8d977873c6af46a2958dbf4342597b462a.png) One of the others: ![Screenshot - 9_24_2026 , 10_48_13 AM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/4X/e/7/8/e7813eb2413823f07b66d63b4082b289204bc43e.png) No need to reduce any of those textures. ---

The textures are already very small, so there is nothing to reduce. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/4X/8/3/c/83c82acf9f63fd16920d1ff334edf09e94698d74.jpeg) Nothing broken with the file, you’re good to go. ---

Thanks I used Material resizer to shrink it but then they stopped showing up. What did you use to list the materials by the way? ---

Hi I use material Resizer to reduce the materials. They were much larger to start with as I took them from photos. They then disappeared from the material resizer dialogue. ---

What size of file do you get when you load it up? I am shocked that it is so large. ---

> [@Grey](#): > > They then disappeared from the material Looking at the code it looks like they do need to be above a certain size to be listed. ---

It’s the edges, faces, groups, and components that are bulking up the file. ![Screenshot - 9_24_2026 , 1_42_45 PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/4X/8/0/c/80c83cbc897b37b7346a19b3c1e68ba08be7b378.png) ---

@Grey It’s from nEVEn’s session report after I scanned your model.
