After the conversion, check your log (Twilight V2 -> Options -> Log). Most likely the libraries that contain those materials could not be found. Make sure you have placed the libraries you are trying to load in C:\ProgramData\Twilight\Materials.

Note that there is a bug that has been addressed and will be fixed in M2 where material libraries in nested subfolders (like C:\ProgramData\Twilight\Materials\GroupOfMaterials\MaterialA) will not load for conversion correctly. We have fixed this but the workaround is to copy all the material subfolders to the C:\ProgramData\Twilight\Materials folder.

You have it in the SketchUp 2014 folder. It won't be found by 2015 because it's not the same version of SU.

Place the libraries in the location mentioned previously.

You don't need V1 in 2015. Just copy the material libraries to the folder I pointed out.

You can do that, yes. However, I would recommend just creating the Materials directory.

I copied the files in a folder of my dropbox to keep all workstations updated.

I think this seems to work so far!?!?
