Inconsistent application of watermark styles

SketchUp
1

Dear All,

When using a watermark in styles, and that style is shared by a number of scenes, the watermark appears in some scenes but not others.

All scenes have the same details, ie all properties to save is checked, so the watermark should be applied to all scenes.

Any suggestions as to how the watermark can be applied to all scenes?

It is probably something obvious that I am missing.

Or there may be a work-around, such as a need to remake the scenes/ style to enable the watermarks.

Thank you,

Alex

Post a sample file with scenes so people can see what you are working with.

As Mike asked, share the file so we can see exactly what you’ve got set up. It sounds to me as if you have more than one style in the model and at least one of them doesn’t have or at least doesn’t display the watermark.

Or you pressed the “create new style” button in the pop up dialogue box, rather than updating the style after adding a watermark. Share the file

Hi Bmike, DaveR, endlessfix,

Please see attached a file which illustrates my problem.

Scene 143 has a watermark, 142 does not, although they share the same Style.

I’ve probably done something daft and there is an easy fix obvious to everyone but me.

Thank you in advance.

In 142 you have Fog enabled, turn it off and update the scene.

Easy fix -

Go to 142, check off ‘style and fog’, got to 143, go back to 142, check on style and fog.

Thank you mike!

That works!
(I don’t know why it works or why this design feature is needed, but it works.)

regards

Alex

What Mike shows works because it tells the scenes to ignore the fog settings. It also works as I said if you go to the fog setting in scene 142 and turn off fog, which is turned off in 143.

When you have a scene that works you can essentially copy settings from one to another by toggling things off and on.
