Style Builder
Style Builder is a companion tool for SketchUp, the 3D modeling and design software. It lets users create, edit and manage custom visual styles and materials for SketchUp models, controlling how edges, faces, backgrounds and other rendering properties appear. The app is primarily used by architects, product designers, and other SketchUp users who want to customize their drawing aesthetics beyond SketchUp's built-in style library.

1 suggestionStyle Builder is a specialized tool associated with SketchUp 2017, which is now substantially outdated — SketchUp itself has released many newer versions since 2017 with significant improvements to the style and material system. There is no evidence of an Apple Silicon native build or recent updates to Style Builder. Given the age of the bundled version and the lack of search results, this app appears to have been superseded or discontinued. If you still use it, contact Trimble (SketchUp's parent company) to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists; if one does not, the app will stop launching on macOS 28 when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in September 2028. A more current approach would be to upgrade to a modern version of SketchUp, which has native Apple Silicon support and includes updated style and material tools built into the main application, eliminating the need for a separate Style Builder companion.
