Do you use large toolset?
-
Title says it all. Do you?
-
No - I use mostly keyboard shortcuts for the commands I use frequently. I only have toolbars visible for tools I use occasionally.
-
Neither. I use Jim's custom toolbar plugin for the less frequently used tools
and also short cuts for my "everyday" tools.
-
Woops, accidentally voted 'yes' so you can scrub that and add one to the 'no' pile.
Im in the shortcuts camp, the toolbars i do have are for things like fred06's tools, which i dont use all the time but are good to have close at hand.
-
I do, but only for the protractor and follow me tool... Come to think of it, I'm gonna map those to hotkeys and open up some space
-
Never use large toolset and i've adopted Gaieus' 'Floating Toolbar' option
-
Depends what you mean by "use it"? I guess I always like it open, but I don't really use it very often. I mostly use it for "place camera". Now I'm thinking I should look at removing it too, since I don't use it that much...

Now think of it, guys, these altogether are only 3 tools! So much real estate for these 3?
For the Follow me I use a shortcut (F) but I put the 2 other, less frequently used tools to my custom toolbar (as you can see above).
Also, it allows you to add tools that do not have buttons otherwise...
Jim definitely rocks!

Where can I find "Jim's custom toolbar plug in" option plug in?

Oh I know it's silly, I'm not arguing that
I think SU feels naked with out it - which is also silly.I also use it a lot when I am doing video tutorials so I can click on the icons instead of shortcut keys so viewers can follow along easier. But I have not done a video for a while, I'm sure I could turn it off while I do not need it. Its just a hard habit to break

Man, now youv'e got me thinking. Feels naked without it, and when I'm showing someone how to begin using SketchUp I always get them to use it,( Pass on my bad habits), but....
-
It's helpful for a beginner. It emphasizes a lot can be done with a few tools. but I have been a "beginner" now for...how long? I should put it away and learn the shortcuts I don't use yet. It is like my CAD toolsets which have lots of tools on them, and I use them without hardly looking anymore.
-
I do but I'm less adept than the more efficient, all shortcut users. I think it helps keep one's memory fresh to have the icons hanging around for a good while, esp. as the set grows and grows with plugs you want to learn to use.
For me moving to a two monitor setup was much more relevant to the issue of freeing real estate and being productive.
-
I usually leave the toolbars on, which is pretty inneficient I guess, as everytime it crashes and the toolbars go flying I never put them back in the same place...It takes me ages to find the tool I'm looking for!
for the common commands I use keyboard shortcuts.
and yes I use the large toolset...the small ones are just too small for my inefficient eyes...and I have massive glasses!
-
I use lots of toolbars and very few shortcuts.
-
I use all toolbars and no shortcuts. Love the Clausen jersey as your picture too! GO PANTHERS!
