      when Style Builder first was released in SU version "your guess is as good as mine" i made some cool styles that i would love to share and or have located in my styles library. Unfortunately i can only find them in Models that i created years ago in SU.

      Two questions:

      1. I assume that the Style is embedded somewhere in that old .skp file. Can anyone tell me how i can locate that .style file and add it to my library so i'm not having to use that old .skp file as a template?

      2. Is there a way to edit the old .style in style builder, rather than start from scratch by exporting the style from SU to Style Builder?

      Much Thanks.

        Open the old SketchUp file in SketchUp.
        Open the Styles browser.
        Open the secondary pane. (little plus icon in upper right corner of Styles browser.)
        Set one pane to In Model. (click on the house icon)
        Set the the other pane to an existing library or make a new one.
        Click on and drag the thumbnail for the style from In Model to the other pane.

        That will save your style for future use.

        Now, to share the style, navigate to the folder in which you saved the style and you should see it to attach it to a post here.

        As to your second question, you can open a style in Style Builder and make modifications to it as desired.
