Fredo ThruPaint screwed up all of the edge colors in my model - please help!

Hi! I just purchased the Fredo6 Thrupaint extension and was excited to easily paint some tile faces in the model I’m working on for a client… but somehow after attempting to use the tool few times, many of the edges in my model have now either disappeared or turned different colors. And to make matters worse, I stupidly saved my model, so I can’t hit undo.

I just want all of my edges to be black again… can someone please help me? I wanted to save time and now I’m afraid I’ve added a whole day’s worth of work just to get things back to how they were before.

I’m attaching a photo of what it looks like now, and what it looked like before.

Thank you!


Share the .skp file so we can see what you’ve got to work with.

I actually just re-opened my model and now all of the lines are black again!! SUCH a relief! Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

Question while I have you though… when using Thrupaint, is there an easy way to toggle between colors that are in my saved paint bucket palette? I can’t figure out how to easily switch between colors, other than using the eyedropper tool and grabbing a color already in the model (I’m on a Mac, if that matters). Thank you!!

In the UI select the appropriate source for the materials.

When I click “In Model” nothing happens…

What happens if you click on SketchUp Materials? This is what I see on Windows.

When I click on Sketchup Materials, it does give me access to those materials… but how do I save certain custom colors to my Sketchup Materials folders under a name so that I can easily find them? I only have them in my saved paint bucket color palette… they’re not textures or anything.

If you have a set of custom colors in your Colors in Model, you can create a collection without an extension. Simply go to the Colors in Model in your Colora panel, click on Duplicate, and give the collection a name. It’ll then be available in the dropdown list of material collections.

I’m guessing the style has been changed to show the color of edges instead of all as black.
Edit the style in SketchUp and change edges to “all the same”

I saw the same thing Kristi reported on my PC. The style was not changed to By Material. When I exited Thru Paint however,the edges reverted back to black.
