In Preferences > General, at the bottom, there is a checkbox to "warn of style changes when creating scenes". If that is checked, a dialog should pop up every time you change the style to create new scene without affecting existing scenes. I have checked this box and the warning does not appear. Instead, a new scene is created and the dimension layer that is new to the scene is applied to existing scenes that have different dimension layers. I have to go back into the existing scenes, turn off the new dimension layer and update each scene. I removed sketchup and reinstalled with no luck. I am using sketchup v8, free version, on XP. Any thoughts? Much appreciated.... Keith

In any event, thank you both for clearing up the issues and thanks for the script reference. This is the best modeling software!

Change something in the style (like turn hidden geometry on) and create a new scene to see it in action.

If you want to make a new layer that is 'on' in the current scene but 'off' in all others, use a script like this... http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?p=322291#p322291
As the new layer name matches the tab's it's easy to find and rename in the Layer Browser.
You only need to update the current scene-tab...
