These styles look great, thanks Dave. Now can someone please explain the correct procedure for getting these installed in my styles folder? When I download I get a win-zip file and when unpacked I get 3 xml files, a png., and a ref. folder. I'm using the latest SU6 Pro on a windows machine. TIA

This is confusing Mike. When I click on the link I get a parent directory with 5 styles files listed. The link is in this post above: http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?p=4069#p4069

From there just click on the style and save it to your Styles folder:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Styles\New Styles

I have made a new sub-folder called New Styles to keep them separated from the original ones.

Boo, apparently I must be missing something, when I go to save the file, it's zipped, so if I save it to my Styles folder I get nothing, when I extract the files I get xml files instaed of a .style file which I could then just drop in my styles folder. I'm probably doing something stupid so thanks for the help. I'm not the only one thats missing something here.

I really like the Watercolour styles, they're lookin' great !!
But I'm having a problem installing them, I've downloaded the zipped files into my styles folder, but when i unpack them I just get the 3 xml files, a 'ref' folder (presumabley for the 'stroke' line and a doc-thumnnail.png). Am I doing something wrong or is it just a simple renaming exerise to achieve the blackwatercolour.style.

Not sure where to go from here,as I have not come across this before when downloading a .style file, so if anyone could point me the right direction as to what to do, it would be very much appreciated

Boo, also look at this post http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=5293. The files already have the .style extension, so I can save right to my styles folder or somewhere else and then copy/paste into my styles folder. Never had this problem with the xml files before. Thanks again.

That is very strange. This is what I get when I click on the first style:

Try saving the zip file to your styles folder then just renaming the extension from .zip to .style.

Edit:
Ah haaaaa, light at the end of the tunnel. It seems as if I might be right, just rename it.

So is all this my fault for doing something wrong? Or is this a Mac thing?

I know what you're going to say. Just because I'm paranoid it doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

Gaieus · 25 Jan 2008, 18:18

Edson is also on Mac. It must have something to do how Mac handles the extension.

boofredlay · 25 Jan 2008, 18:25

But Mike (alpro) is on a PC. See his stats... Windows Vista. Maybe Vista handles the file like a Mac does???

Gaieus · 25 Jan 2008, 18:30

Maybe it's not a problem for me because StyleBuilder is installed for me. Maybe for those with problems, file type association in their browsres should be set (as this is not a common and everyday extension).

However at least renaming works.

boofredlay · 25 Jan 2008, 18:41

I don't have stylebuilder installed and it works for me just fine.

alpro · 25 Jan 2008, 20:04

Thanks guys, renaming the file did the trick.

as i remember . it must be one of my first syles ( i'd made).

I hope I did this right also?

I placed similar files(skp.) from a SU materials forum into my C drive/Program Files/Google/Google SU6/Materials/Vegetation(this was for trees).
My only worry was that the other files in this folder were (skm.) files.
I asked the question on the board already, just waiting for a generous repy!

Not sure, I'm just a newbie!

Thank Dave, I love this Style, I used it on a model I made and did a litle extra filters in PS.

Dave R · 20 Jun 2008, 09:58

Those look great. Thanks for sharing them. I'm glad you like the style but it looks like you've modified it a bit. Would you post your version of it?

Gaieus · 20 Jun 2008, 10:15

Dave,

You are probably aware of our "attachment server":
(server no longer in use as not necessary now)
Feel free to upload anyzhing of that size if it is really needed!

(The style is still amazing...)
