Edge styles default to color "By Material" when my model auto-saves or saves

Maybe about the time of a Windows update that has caused some other folks problems. Let me do some diffing and see if I come up with anything.

Ok thanks, appreciate the help.

Do you have any extensions installed that do anything with styles?

Not that I am aware of. I do have several on there that I’ve never used or used once. Maybe i should clean them out?

That was it! I purged a few extensions that I wasn’t using and it defaults to normal.

Which ones did you purge?

Shoot, I didn’t make note of it (I went through the manager and deleted what I didn’t recognize) Is it possible to retroactively access the names of what was deleted?

edit: I don’t think there is. Sorry about that, bit of a weak contribution to the forum on my behalf.

You could look at the Recycle Bin and see what’s been recently deleted.

They don’t seem to show up there, according to my recycle box I haven’t deleted anything for a few days.

Ah… My mistake. You used the Extension Manager to uninstall them. Well, it would be interesting to know which one was causing it but at least it isn’t a problem anymore for you.

Just having the same problem :frowning:

What problem?

Every time I save the file, the color edge is forced changed to edge my material ( I never change it; I always use “all same” black)

I was resting for SketchUp for around 1 month; in the meantime, windows got updated and maybe changed something on Sketchup.

Using Windows 10, never had this problem before

Share an example file that shows this.

Do you perhaps have an extension that is responsible as the OP did?

logo_cope.skp (485.5 KB)
this is the file, but whenever I save it changes to edge by material, you will see it changed, but never clicked or anything on the file; I never had these issues before, no new plugins or anything.

I’m repairing the installation with admin rights

What extensions do you have installed? I don’t have the same result when I do the same thing.

Also, update your profile. It shows you are using 2018.

In the OP’s case removing an extension stopped this from happening. Unfortunately he removed a bunch of extensions and as far as I know never identified which one was responsible. Most of those in your list don’t have anything to do with styles but maybe a couple of them could. I would suggest disabling Some of them–I’d start with Skatter–and restart SketchUp to see if the problem goes away.
