![]() ![]() Once in the new folder you can only add new materials / colors by dragging them up from the swatches below, or from the current selected material which is the larger one on the left. You must use the drop down menu to navigate away from the new list once to any other list then back to the new one it to actually get into the new folder. The swatches present in the panel are from whatever list you had previously up before making a new list. Now, this is a tricky part, once you have a new List created, the name of the new list will be appear in the selection at the top of the panel indicating you are in that folder, however you are not. The materials collections list only sorts alphabetically with no organizing options, so I name all my custom material collection starting with “z” then a custom name so they get grouped together at the bottom of the list and are not lost among the standard collections. You can navigate to the custom material folders on your hard drive under library-application support-sketchup18-sketchup-materilas to rename a folder on the hard drive which will be then be reflected in your list on the next startup of Sketchup as Sketchup only reads the list on startup, not actively. You will be prompted to give your list a name, choose your name carefully as there is not a function to rename a list from within Sketchup. Once in the materials pane you have the option near at the bottom of the panel under List, to choose New. ![]() The intended workflow for making and saving custom collections of colors and materials is through the Materials icon which is a brick. I believe this part is Mac behavior as they are responsible for the shared color picker UI. What was your previous Sketchup version? Like-wise the color swatches automatically stack up left to right in both 18 and 16 in Mojave, I cannot have “empty spaces”. It is present if I open the color picker in another application as you indicated, but not in Sketchup. I have 18pro and 16pro both running on Mojave (10.14.5) and the color “pallet” icon is not present in either of these versions. However, focusing on your question I see the same behavior as you but this is as it has been for some time now. Have questions? Feel free to leave them in the comments.Sheesh, don’t get me started on the the Mac materials interface, it really could use some improvement. It’s that easy! Now you’re ready to have fun with colors on your Mac. Click “Show Colors” to reveal the Color Picker. If none of those colors suit your fancy, click Show Colors to reveal the Color Picker. In Mail, clicking the text color reveals a variety of colors arranged in a grid. A similar button works the same magic in Numbers and Keynote. The Color Picker in PagesĬlick that button, and the Color Picker appears. Selecting a text color under the Format tab, there’s a small button next to the swatch showing the existing text color. Instead, it is found in most apps where a color needs to be selected. It’s not a standalone application in macOS, so you won’t find it in the Applications or Utilities folders. Where can I find Color Picker?Ĭolor Picker is used within other apps. In today’s quick tutorial, I’ll show how Color Picker is used, how to save color swatches, and more. On my personal Mac, Color Picker is used in the following and in several other third-party apps: Just about every app on a Mac that has a color option uses a tool called the Color Picker. ![]()
