Thanks for taking the time to reply. Unfortunately that thread is from me from last week too I couldn't get the 2015 program to work even after trying everyones suggestions. I finally got the 2016 Pro and it worked fine for 3 days and then started doing the same thing. I'm sure its just a simple setting or button that has been activated in error but I can't find it...

Hi there! I am new to your forum and I am using Sketchup 2016 Pro and had this exact problem with 2015 Pro version. The problem is when I add color to a grouped object the black edge outline disappears making the detail difficult to see. I have spent over half a day total trying to resolve this. The black lines show up fine when the "All same" is selected. I then save the Style and it still retains the black edge and looks fine. If I wait for the Autosave feature to save the room or if I select it manually, the Color reverts back to "By material" every time and the edges disappear again. Do you have any idea how I could fix this?
Thank you!!

Both. I can not get to stay on "All Same". It ALWAYS reverts back to "By Material" as soon as I save the file. So frustrating

Darn! It didn't work in the 2015 version... I can't imagine what is really going on here. I did not purchase the 2016 version... I just downloaded the 30 day trial so I don't want to get too attached to it if I can find a solution for pro 2015

Ok thank you! I will give this a try

can you save the file as a 2015 file? I have pro version 2015 but I had to download a temp version of pro 2016 to view the file. I can't view this in my current version to see what is happening. Thank you again for helping me

That worked great! What do I do to fix it on all my other projects?

He is a screen shot of what happens including the Styles editor function to the right.

Thanks again!

Thank you! If you go to Window -- Styles -- Color -- All Same the black outlines appear. I can commit the changes but when I save my file to the computer it reverts back to "By Material" every time. I'm sure its something simple but I have wasted and embarrassing amount of time trying to fix this for presentations with clients.

I'm not sure. I have not created any other scenes intentionally yet. How would I send you the file? Email? or can I attach it to this thread? I totally new to forums and protocol
