Hi friends,
I recent upgraded to the latest version of SU and I think this quirky thing is new since the upgrade… It appears that the Styles Window has duplicative fields. See attached image. Anyone else seeing this and know the reason? Wondering if it’s a glitch or a new feature that I’m not aware of (and don’t know the benefit of it)
Thanks in advance!
That’s just the secondary Styles pane open. Close it by clicking on the button at the top right of the Styles panel.
That secondary pane is useful if you want to look at different styles collections, maybe In Model on top and your own custome styles collection in the lower one. IF you have the panels set to show style thumbnails instead of the list view, you can save styles you’ve created from In Model to your custom collection by dragging and dropping the style from one to the other.

Oh, cool. Thank you!
What’s the benefit of the secondary pane?
I was anticipating your question and added to my previous post.
Note that the Components panel works the same way. One the PC, so does the Materials panel.
BTW, it’s been a long time. How’ve you been?
Ah, thanks for anticipating my question and replying so comprehensively.
Also - wow - that feature exceeds the way my team and I use SU, but it’s impressive!
Been good… took on a new teammate and she’s learning the ropes with SU/LO after working in Revit prior. It’s been a collective learning experience!
You’re quite welcome.
You might expand your use of styles. ![]()
Good on you for expanding your staff.
