How to open STYLE file?
An often recurring problem with SketchUp Style is that STYLE is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that STYLE files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STYLE file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install SketchUp
The first step is to check if the computer has the SketchUp program installed. To do this, enter the name SketchUp into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open STYLE files.
Programs to open STYLE file
Remember to download programs supporting STYLE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SketchUp with STYLE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the STYLE file still does not use the SketchUp program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STYLE file with the SketchUp application.
Step 3. Update SketchUp to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SketchUp program, it is possible that SketchUp Style requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Trimble Navigation Limited website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STYLE file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the STYLE file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STYLE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover STYLE files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of STYLE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged STYLE files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Trimble help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STYLE files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move STYLE to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the STYLE file again. However, some background programs may block the STYLE file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
