The Styles Menu
The SketchUp Styles menu controls how surface colors and texture are displayed. The options range from x-ray views peering through model surfaces to wire frame, displaying the edges and lines composing surfaces (Fig. 8.24).
Shaded and Shaded with Texture are the two most important options because they affect performance. They are the two primary settings used for modeling.
To access the Styles menu, select View ⇒ Toolbars ⇒ Styles. Don’t confuse it with the Window ⇒ Styles menu, which has very different functions. The Styles menu options are described from left to right as they appear in the menu bar.
