Saving/adding styles to collection
-
Where are you putting the new Styles collection folder?
-
In the default location it wants to, see below:
C:\Users\Wes\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2017\SketchUp\Styles\Architectural Styles -
But it won't let you drag styles into it from the In Model collection? you should be able to do that. Can you make a folder in My Documents and drag them to there in the Styles window?
-
I created a style folder on both the desktop and in My Documents. I can't drag/drop styles to either one in the Style window. However, on a whim, I tried drag/drop from one of the default style sets, and I CAN do that!
-
So I just created a SU file from scratch, made a new style, and yes I can drag/drop it into any of those style folders I created earlier. For whatever reason, I can't drag/drop or save as a style out of the big model in question. If anybody has insight, I'd appreciate it.
-
Where is the "big model" SKP file saved?
-
It is on a local hard drive.
-
Hmmm....
This is very odd. There shouldn't be any reason you can't drag styles from a specific file.
Do these styles have watermarks? Are the watermark images large files?
-
No, no watermarks in any of the styles. But the "Display watermark" is checked on all of them. If I uncheck it, I can drag/drop to the folder I want! Solved...? Not sure why it would seem to care if the "Display watermark" is checked if there are no watermarks. But whatever, I can move forward!
-
I can see that might be a problem to have the box checked when there's no watermark. It may be expecting to save an image which it can't find.
