Do you have some sort of show invisible files feature turned on? Or accidentally do a Clean Up By action on the folder?
If you install SketchUp 2016 on the same computer like the previous version, there wonāt be any license issueās.
Is it true?
A SketchUp license is specific to a version, so if you are hoping that your 2015 license will activate 2016, sorry, no. You will need to get a 2016 license. But if you are asking whether multiple versions of SketchUp can run on the same computer, the answer is definitely yes.

Thank you Marc. Problem is solved. I just had to turn off security, launch the software, then turn on security and now it works perfectly.
By the way, could you please tell me where I can find information about the novelties in this Sketchup and Layout 2016 version?
Thanks and regards,
Charles
Hi Charly-
Thanks for reporting back. Weāll keep an eye on this.

I am really enjoying the new layout but am having a problem importing any models from the 3d warehouse. They all come with lines showing all the curves of the surface? I try to soften it and it doesnāt help? Also why canāt I hide components? It just makes them appear in wireframe? Thanks for your help in advance, I really enjoy this software.
It sounds like you have Hidden Geometry turned on. Go to the View menu and un-check the Hidden Geometry option.

Yes! Thank you. It seems each time an update is done a learn a little something about the software. Perfect!
Hi Aeyaros
From your experience has there been any improvement in support in SU 2016 for 4K displays over SU 2015? Is the UI, in particular the dimensions box on the bottom right still unreadable.
To be honest this is the only really I would consider ungrading as scaling back my display to 1080p really disimproves the clarity.
Thanks
If you scroll back up through the thread, I addressed this in a prior post back in November.
Honestly, the biggest usability issue comes from the fact that the drawing window itself doesnāt scale up, so things like drawing and inferencing are difficult to do without squinting. Because of the recent UI improvements, SU 2016 is indeed better on 4K; it certainly isnāt any worse. The program still isnāt fully resolution independent; because I use it frequently, my display has been scaled back to 1080p simply to accommodate it. 
Hopefully these issues will be fixed by the release of SU 2017, if not earlier. Iām sure the team is well aware of all this.

I understand itās saying the elements within the drawing window/UI arenāt scaled yet, but might it possible to get the entire drawing window upscaled by, say, 200% when SU detects a high DPI display? This would literally solve all my problems. For doing actual work in SketchUp, I donāt really need the 3D model to be displayed at an extremely high resolution; it just slows things down anyway.
Excellent, SketchUp Pro 2016 TRIAL version.
And now that trial period has expired and files created trying it out areā¦
ā¦not available any longerā¦!
HOW DID THE THINKING GO THERE?
At this moment there is a lot of hard work down the drain.
Why?
Because they can not be opened by SketchUp 2015.

Install the Make version of 2016 and save as back to 2015.
Both versions can run side by side.
If your SketchUp donāt work anymore, youāve probably installed the PRO version instead the MAKE. Both have the PRO trial period, but the PRO version stops working without a valid license after 30 days.
Uninstall your version Pro 2016 first.
Then install the version Make 2016. It probably will skip the tryal period (used in the Pro version on your computer), but it should work without the Pro features enabled.
Thank you, everyone, for your thoughts, comments, and questions with regard to SketchUp 2016. Since 2016 has been out for a while now, weāre going to close this thread to new posts. Please create a new topic for any new questions or comments you may have.
Cheers!
