Exporting the current document style

You can easily create a new style containing all the elements, symbols, and symbol properties used in your document. Create and modify 3D elements and symbols as you design your document, then save everything in a style.

Exporting styles allows you to save 3D elements and symbols from many styles in a single style. It is also useful if you need to modify the symbols in a document and don't have the original styles; you can create a new style by exporting the existing document elements and symbols.

To begin the export process, you must access the Export ArcScene Styles command.

Steps:

1. Click Customize and click Customize Mode.
2. Click the Commands tab, then select the Tools Category. Browse to the Export ArcScene Styles command. Select it and drag it onto any toolbar in the application window. Click Close on the Customize window.
3. Click the Export ArcScene Styles button.
4. Navigate to where you want to save the new style. By default, the browser is set to the installed Styles folder.
5. Type a style name.
6. Click Save.

Tip:

• The items you draw in 3D (symbols and elements) are copied into a 3D document. Therefore, you don't need the original referenced styles to open and draw the document again.
