May be Jim will know how to get the position of the toolbars!

You would need to use Win32API on Windows, and I don't know for the Mac.

OH YEAR ~.I remeber a plugin have the example to sort the toolbar in side .em but i don't remember the name of it .

Win32api is a good tool to do this ,but it always get wrong for the string Why?

here is my toolbars .

and the toolbar plugins (modify on Jim's Customtoolbar)

My problem with this plugin is that it shows all the toolbars that I do not even use when I set it. There are a couple of plugins that I do not use regularly and only switch off when I need them. This plugin activates all inactive toolbars, too (on top of all I also use Jim's custom toolbar).

I will upgade it .the pre version ,I had a txt to control which is not show ,and which will show .
Next I will add the webDiaglo to control it

Please, don't get me wrong, the plugin seems to be very useful - and I am probably one of those few who keeps plugins under the hood and only activates toolbars when needed (I sometimes do not use a plugin for months but then a certain projects comes and I use it daily).

Now if only we could save toolbar locations as well so they do not get cluttered all the time when activating / deactivating certain ones.

There it is!

UI.set_toolbar_visible("FullToolSet", true)

this plugin is awsome! has anyone figured how to get it to open only active plugs?
begreat if you could have it only toggle the ones you want it to or only undocked bars as well. that way you could float the larger ones or the ones you don't use as often.

How to hide Scene Tabs ? Any idea? UI.set_toolbar_visible("Scene Tab", false) doesn't work...

AFAIK the Scene Tabs can't be toggled through the API.
If you were on a PC you could assign a shortcut key to that View > Scene Tabs menu item and then call a WinScript command to mimic the key-stroke, but since it's a 'toggle', then knowing whether you will turn the Tabs on or off is problematical...

I get it :

Sketchup.send_action 10534

Do it two times the first time (there 's a bug in Sketchup about the connected checkbox)

Enjoy

However, that's PC only...
Because it's a toggle there's no way of knowing it the tabs are on before running it, so if they are already off it'll switch them on ?

on a Mac you can use an osascript call to do the same sort of thing,

along these lines, but you need to double check all the escapes

System "osascript -e 'tell application "System\ Events" -e click menu item "Scene\ Tabs" -e of menu 1 of menu bar item "View" -e of menu bar 1 of application process "SketchUp"e- "end tell"'"

PM me if you want a working version or have a play.

The gadget very practical,I give it a try.

I found the 'Show and Hide your toolbar' plugin to be quite useful when I want to 'snag' a full screen shot that includes a 'lot' of close-up detail -- but without the toolbars.

Before this plugin came along, I had to de-select toolbars one at a time to get the screenshot I needed

It would be a shame if no-one updated this puppy so that it hides/shows 'only'
active toolbars. Like Gaieus, I discovered that the current version of this plugin turns on toolbars that I never loaded beforehand.

Fullscreen works with 2013

Hi,

is there any chance to get this helpful tool working for SketchUp 2017 (mac os x)?

Atm, it´s not working.

Best regards,
Thomas

Anton_S · 14 May 2017, 09:10

There is a better plugin, with a lot more features, such as switching SU fullscreen, called AMS Window Settings. But, unfortunately it's only for Windows.

TBA · 30 Nov 2017, 13:52

Sorry for the delay.

Yes the other plugin is for windows only

Any chance that you compile your script for use in SU 2017/2018 ?

Best regards,
Thomas
