SketchUp launches but expected extensions or templates are missing

Likely fix

Restore the approved extension bundle and templates from the client standard instead of assuming the base install is enough.

What to collect

Capture the exact error, version, and what changed before the issue started.

Likely fix

Clear out of date sign-in state, confirm the correct Trimble identity, and verify the seat is attached to that exact account.

First things to try

First things to try

Quick checks before you change anything

  • What exact SketchUp task is failing: sign-in, opening files, syncing, printing, or startup?
  • Did the issue begin after an update, restart, password change, or new computer?
  • Does the same task work in the browser or on another computer if that option is available?
  • Is the problem limited to one file, project, library, or mailbox, or does it affect the whole app?

Try these fixes first

  • Confirm the correct Trimble identity, supported version, and extension set before day-one setup.
  • Test sign-in, 3D Warehouse or Extension Warehouse access, and any template or component-library paths the team uses.
  • Document custom extensions and default templates so rebuilds do not quietly lose functionality.

Slow down

Do not do this yet / warnings

Avoid these until support says it is safe

  • Do not uninstall or reset SketchUp before you have tested a second file, project, or mailbox.
  • Do not delete local sync folders, profiles, or project saved local data until the browser or web version of the same content is known to be correct.
  • Do not change passwords, multi-factor sign-in settings, or default apps in the middle of troubleshooting unless support asks you to.
  • Do not run repair tools, clean-installs, or advanced system changes without confirming a backup or known-good copy of any work in progress.

What support needs

What details support needs

Send these details

  • A screenshot of the exact SketchUp message or screen where the problem happens.
  • The work account you used to sign in and whether the same task works in the browser or on another computer.
  • The SketchUp version shown in the app.
  • The file, project, library, or workflow name involved in the problem.
