I already typed a more verbose version of this post. It’s been a couple of days so just in case it didn’t go through for some reason:
Basically I am trying to use my own custom styles in the configurator. It lets me do that, then it shows in the configurator that it is reading my custom style. However, when I go to create plan/section/elevation etc, the scenes it produces aren’t using my style, instead using one of the onboard condocs styles. It seems to be relatively random which style it uses. The other day it was defaulting to the onboard condoc color elevation line drawing no matter what I did. Today when I do it it defaults to the “DESIGN” style.
Help is appreciated. Great tool otherwise and I would like to adapt it to fit the needs of my workflow.
Edit: looks like the post went through this time. Things I tried to do to fix it:
– added my style to a favorited collection
– made sure my style was “in model”
– added my style to the condoc style folder (I later read that I wasn’t supposed to do this. It didn’t solve my problem and I’ve since deleted it)
– made sure all my styles were on local drive instead of cloud. made sure that my styles folder in sketchup preferences was looking at the local folder instead of the cloud folder.
Good morning Thomas!
Glad the post made it through this time, I didn’t see it on here before. Can you send me the .condoc drawing set? and model? [email protected]
You might try testing in a new blank file with no styles in it. If you have versions of the styles, or old styles with the same name, those will be used rather than the new versions included in the drawing set.
I will take a look!

Update..
I managed to get my own line drawing styles working, but not water colour yet.
Copying my own style to the condoc style folder worked.Hello Matt! Glad you got it sorted… Let me know if you are still having trouble with the watercolor style…
Matt …. you may have a scene staking issue or style issue with raster scenes covering the vector scenes. Try this. When you create your scene, export it to layout and drop it on a sheet. Strech the scenes so you see the full plans. Ungroup the scenes and start pulling them apart, This will allow you to see the contents of the scene and its display with nothing staked below or above. This will allow you to see those individual scene style changes and verify your issues. Do you have some missing tags in your scenes? Does the style look right? One more thing., as you create. modify these custom scenes make sure your saving them to the ConDocs drawing sets folder and make sure youre loading that drawing set to the SKP drawing when it’s been changed and saved out from a different project.
Hope this helps. Feel free to hit me up if you need some help [email protected]
