If you deselect the checkbox, you don't see the warning dialog box and are not prompted about how you'd like to manage your scenes and styles. This warning can help you manage your style changes as you work with different scenes.īy default, the Warn of Style Change When Creating Scenes checkbox is enabled.
If you edit a style and then add a new scene, SketchUp can prompt you to decide whether you want to save your changes as a new style, update the selected style, or do nothing, as shown in the following figure. Scenes enable you to save a view of your model, and styles impact how your model's edges, faces, and background look. If the "Notify me when problems are fixed" checkbox is checked, SketchUp will notify you when problems are fixed and you can see the details of the problems that were fixed. These checks occur when you open a model, when auto-save kicks off and when you perform a manual save operation. SketchUp automatically looks for and fixes a variety of problems that might be present in your model. The General preferences pane includes a section called "Check Model for Problems", which offers the following option: Notify me when problems are fixed. If you’ve disabled the Welcome Window you can always access it by going to Help > Welcome to SketchUp. If you’re seeing a recovered file, you have the ability to open it and re-save it to a new location. Note: Want to find an auto-saved file? Recovered files will always be accessible from the Welcome Window’s main screen. If SketchUp closes successfully, the auto-save file is deleted. Note that the auto-save file is preserved only if SketchUp suddenly crashes. Just enter a new interval in minutes in the text box. By default, the interval is 5 minutes, but you can make that shorter or longer if you like. When enabled, Auto-save tells SketchUp to automatically save changes to your model into a temporary file at specific time interval. Auto-save: This option is also enabled by default and helps you recover any changes you make to a model if you experience computer problems.On either operating system, you find both files in the same folder.
For example, if your model file is hotel.skp, on Microsoft Windows, the backup is hotel.skb, and on Mac OS X, the backup file is hotel~.skp. The backup file is the previously saved version of the file and lives in the same folder as the model file. When Create Backup is enabled, SketchUp automatically creates a backup file when you save a model. Create Backup: By default, this option is selected because it helps you recover your work if anything happens as you're creating a 3D model.Here's a quick look at the Saving options on the General preferences pane:
