The Style that is saved with a Scene ultimately controls how the model is rendered in that Scene.  
However, the way an active model is rendered onscreen is contingent upon two factors…  
…the active Style _ **and** _ any temporary _ **unsaved** _ changes one may have made to that Style.

When a Scene is created the only Style properties that are saved are those of the active Style.  
Any _ **unsaved changes** _ one has made to the active Style are _ **not saved** _ with the Scene.

Before creating a Scene, consult the Styles Browser.  
If unsaved changes have been made to the active Style you’ll see update arrows superimposed upon the style thumbnail image.
