How can I add new styles to SU on a Mac?

Chuck,
I really don't know - I don't have such a menu item.

I suspect it might be connected to some plugin you have - SketchyPhysics perhaps? If so, you might have misfiled one of the ruby scripts.

No, plugins cannot affect existing SU windows. You should really be able to figure out I believe (I am on a PC so will not be too much of a help here).

[chrisjk]

Having had a quick look at the API docs (from a non-ruby coders viewpoint!) I agree with Gai's comment insofar as it refers to the kind of entry represented by --Runtime-- Of course, scripts can and do affect menus as far as plugin names etc are concerned.

I suggest you post the question in the Developers forum.

I don't think it's just a "Mac thing".

Make sure they go in the correct folder:-

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Styles

The Styles folder will also have sub-folders, create your own for imports if you want.

Chris,

Thank you.

I have one more question. While I was trying to add these last night a "Runtime" sub menu popped up in the Styles menu. Any idea what that is or how to get rid of it?

Kind regards,
Chuck

I have not added any plugins.

i managed to get the same thing to happen....

i did that by placing a folder named 'lin' inside another styles folder (the default styles folder)..

the folder that you named 'Lin Collection' should go directly into the styles folder --

Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 7/SketchUp/Styles

if you have any folders inside of the ones already located inside the styles folder (color sets, default styles, sketchy edges, etc..) then the runtime thing will show up...

[chrisjk]

That's intriguing, I put a lin subfolder inside the Default styles folder and I get no Runtime line but just a picture of a folder in the thumbnails of styles.

Baffled!

weird.. i'm now getting the same thing as you chris..

i can't get runtime to show up again.

What is this runtime? Do you folks think it will effect something?

What about deleting the whole program? Or plists?

Kind regards,
Chuck

I don't have any folders in other folders. Before I knew about how to add them I was just trying to drag them into the styles menu window or double clicking on them and Style Builder would open.

Kind regards,

Chuck,

I doubt very much that it's anything to worry about - I'd just leave it.
