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

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

boofredlay

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

Gaieus

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

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

alpro

Thanks guys, renaming the file did the trick.

majid

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.

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

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...)
