Fire Temp Files Location

Is it possible to change the default folder for fire temp files?

It currently goes to ...user/Documents/Maxwell/...
At my office we have roaming profiles that have very limited storage (1gb), so basically I need to keep as much as I can out of my documents folder.

If it is not possible I guess an alternative would be to write a plugin/batch file to empty that folder on a schedule or certain events...

Sorry, but no, this is not user-configurable. I'll see what it would take to make it so.

As far as scheduling deletion of the folder, that's pretty easy. First, go to your /docs/Maxwell/SketchUp directory and create a new file called delete_temp.bat. Right-click > Edit, and type the following (using the actual path on your machine, of course):
Code: Select all
rd "C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Maxwell\SketchUp\temp"
Save and close it. Then, create a new scheduled task (in Windows) which runs the batch file.

Many thanks.
I was asking because I am trying to troubleshoot a model that will not let me use fire:
