Resource Manager - Empty Folders

[jonp001]

I'm struggling to get any content  in resource manager, all of the folders are empty. Any help gratefully received.

Go into the Vectorworks Preferences and make sure that the following items are checked.

Thank you Justin - yes, already set up like this unfortunately.

I know I'm missing something obvious, but I don't know what.

Did you click on the arrow to expand the folder that you have highlighted?

Hey Justin - for a second that gave me hope that it was the 'simple thing' - thank you again, but still no joy. I did wonder if it was that I'm not logged into Vectorworks, but I am, I don't think the software can be used without logging in - auto process on start up?

@jonp001 You really have to keep expanding until you get to an actual Vectorworks file.  This is how deep I have to go until I get to a place I can import resources from:

 

 

If you expand the folders until you get to the end and there isn't a VW file, then you may have a larger problem.  I am just on Spotlight and don't have the Landmark package, so I can only check Plants based on the premium libraries, but this might be the issue you are having.

Thanks Jesse - yes, it really was something so basic! I really appreciate the assist.

 

Cheers
