With SketchUcam plugin active, the edge color in all styles reverts to "By material" when saving a drawing or opening a new one, regardless of default style settings, or template defaults. It is easily changed under the edit tab of whatever style is currently being used but it is only temporary. This is inconvenient and annoying especially when the auto-save feature is being used and all the edges "disappear" while working on the model. This is true even when not using SketchUp for CNC operations. The plugin just has to be enabled. Is there a fix for this or is this requisite for the plugin to work? Or do I just have to disable the plugin unless I want to use it?

Using SU2015 pro, SketchUcam 1.2a

 

In troubleshooting and isolating the behavior I did both of those steps, the issue still exists. I also realized in trying to reproduce the issue that the edges have to be colored. This is the case with me most often when I apply the material to a grouped set of geometry as a whole, meaning geometry is drawn, grouped together then a material is applied to the group so that the material affects both faces and edges, or selecting all of the geometry in a drawing and applying a material to the whole selection. In other words, it doesn't change the edge material, just the way they are viewed.

 

I'm also having the same problem with the edge color in all styles changing to "By material". I'm using Sketchup Make 2016, v16.0.19912, 64bit on Windows 7, 64bit. I installed the "SketchUcam-1_4-22ee.rbz" as directed. Reinstalling as suggested as well.
One file in particular opens with a small window with yellow exclamation triangle that says "Your recent operation has caused visible geometry to merge with existing geometry on a hidden layer." Clicking the "OK" button closes the small window but it reappears immediately. The only way I've found to clear this small window is to press the "ESC" button on the keyboard multiple times in a fast manner, then waiting a few seconds. Before it stops reappearing, I can see the drawing behind it with the correct edge color. As soon as the few seconds go by and the small window stops reappearing, the edges on the drawing change color. I have to change them back in the "Styles/edges/color" menu. Saving the file changes that setting back to "By material".
All other files open without that small caution window and with the edge color setting changed to "By material".
Hope this info helps with the bug hunting.

 

That caution means that you have a hidden layer. On the menu bar go to Windows/Default Tray and click on Layers. The tray will show and there you can see which layer does not have the visible option checked. Check it and the caution will not pop up again.

 

Resurrecting old thread, unfortunately. Same thing as above, same steps taken as above, with no improvement.

 

swarfer, the problem I'm having is that I ...don't... want edges "By material", I want them "All the same", as in the op's issue.

Since I installed SketchuCam, no matter what I try, when I save a file, the edge changes to "By material". and when I save, the style illustration gets those circling arrows which indicates a change in the style which is not saved to the style.

I'm not blaming Sketchucam, it may be a coincidence, but I use Sketchup daily, and only observed this issue after my Sketchucam installation.

 

Thanks for the info swarfer, what you're saying makes sense from a sketchucam standpoint.

Just wish there was a way to go back and forth!
