      Just curious if anyone discovered the "double" meaning of some of the icons? πŸ˜„

      Nathan Cheever (alz) is the one who did all the work and deserves all the kudos for the custom icons. Thanks again, Nathan!

        Double meaning? As in the icons for togglePerspective and toggleAxes? πŸ˜‰

              Well,... thats one way of saying thank you πŸ˜„

              But creating icons for it is hard since you have to scale it down to 24x24 [I'm not going near the 16x16 icons 😲 πŸ˜„ ]

              But I'm getting there πŸ˜†

                James, all you need to do to make a new icon is export a PNG, make the background transparent and resize it to 24x24 and 16x16 pixels. Replace the "No Icon" image for the icon you are making in the Toolbars\Images folder with the new icon.

                This is a first try but it doesn't read so well in the toolbar.

                      Before you go too crazy with the icons, here's a note from alz:

                      I'll have a big batch of Icons
                      for you this weekend. I'm ravamping them to be
                      less hmmm... pixelly and more smooth-ish like the
                      original SU icons.

                      I will likely include what he so generously made in the next release of the plugin.

                        Jim,
                        Great effort on this. This is something that a lot of people want, or can use. Those of us who have come from Autocad are used to customizing commands. It leaves one question though, why didn't Google put something like this into the program.

                        Best,

                            Thanks everyone.

                            As I said earlier, Nathan is trying to get more icons cranked out this weekend.

                            I'm not sure if this is something that Google will be addressing in later versions of SketchUp. There's a definite need for users to be able to customize menus and toolbars to fit their workflow.

                            Hi

                              Updated with Nathan's additional icons.

                              This download includes the complete plugin. You may delete the toolbars.rb file and toolbars folder, if you want. You can also just over-write the files and folders.

                                  Isn't this a nice a logical solution to organizing/accessing SU commands!
                                  Thank you, Jim.

                                  Jim:

                                  I noticed that the "Toggle Axes" icon doesn't change its background when clicked upon. Is there a way to allow this?

                                  Can the following be added:
                                  TwoPoint Perspective?
                                  Move Scene Up
                                  Move Scene Down

                                  I don't suppose you could use a toolbar.txt file to call script.rb files could you?
                                  Too bad something similar can't be done for the SU menus via a .txt file.

                                    No one? Oh well. Try double-clicking one of the Edge Styles buttons; like Display Profiles. Not all buttons support double-clicking, though.

                                      There does not appear to be way to get the state of the axes from Ruby. 😞 I can make it toggle, but I don't kow what state it is to begin with.

                                      I'm thinking about a comprehensive toolbar/menu solution. It's a long way off.

                                            The new icons are great touch to the whole.

                                            One command that you might consider, which is buried deep, Toggle crosshairs on and off.
