You can use system folders to simplify the use of styles and make it easier to focus on the objects that you are working on. Create system folders for the types of objects that you want to display using a specific style. For example, you could have a folder for all of the structure objects. Assign a view style to that folder, and then all structure created within that folder will display using that style. For more information, see Surface Style Rules.
