lost all my imported models after update

Hello all, I need your expect help, I have the paid version from apple App Store in my Mac laptop.
Today I downloaded the latest update and many hundreds of models that I had imported are lost when I opened the app.
is there any place where they are stored and some way of import without having to import them one by one, as I did last time it happened in the free version?
thank you so much.
Maria

Re: lost all my imported models after update

Somebody else has to help with where models are stored, I have no idea about locations on a Mac.

Use one of the following methods when you have the location where the obj/mtl and zip files of the models are stored:

1. You can select multiple obj and zip model files and drag&drop them into your 2D pane. They will show the import dialog one after the other without having to select <Import> from the menu. That still requires four times the <Enter> key for each model to import.

2. Create a new furniture library with the Furniture Library Editor. Use the same method of dragging&dropping multiple selected models into the editor, they will all import without the need of four times <Enter>. A much faster method! You will have to edit the models that are doors, windows, or staircase to check the appropriate properties. Then import the library in Sweet Home 3D.

Re: lost all my imported models after update

Thank you, you helped me a lot, because doing this I discovered that the models are still in, but in a strange way the folders that I had created are not listed in the left column, where only the the official application categories exist. However, if I search by a model name (few I can remember) it appears. This is at least something.
But the new update is slower in my laptop and ofter crushes. I would avoid it.
