Everything worked fine then this happened. All scenes change when I change the style on one scene. also when I go to use the dashed edges in the style it doesn’t work
so I made a simple model a square made it a group then made 3 scenes with it
your second and third scene use the same style. so if you modify the style, they’ll both take the modification.
if you want both scenes to have a different output, then you need to duplicate the style and apply a different one to each scene.
this activates or deactivate the dashes you’ve set in the tag panel. in the tag panel you can set a specific tag to have specific dashes, and in the style you can override the tag panel preference to make everything plain lines.
in your case, the square you’ve made is on the BOX tag. but the tag you’ve set to use dashes is a different one.
if you want your square to be dashed, either set BOX tag to use dashes, or change the square to be on the right tag.
I corrected your scenes to reflect what their names indicate. Click through them and look at the style selected for each one.

I’m not understanding the style part, I try changing the style how would I duplicate and then change
Instead of changing the style and updating it, click on Create New Style before or after editing it. If you click on Create New Style and then edit it, you’ll need to update the new style to keep the new settings.
you are awesome thank you so much
You’re welcome.
FWIW, I generally don’t give tags dashes in SketchUp and I usually only use one style in the model. I set the dash style per viewport in LayOut and select a different style if needed. I have a collection of commonly used styles that I can pick from in LayOut. Well, I can pick from any of the several hundred styles I have but I created a collection for the ones I use most in LayOut. This allows me to use a single scene in many ways. In the case of your model I would create all three of those views in LayOut with a single scene in the model.
Here’s a quick and dirty example. I don’t have access to my primary computer with my custom collection of styles right now.
