Bigger toolbar
-
Is it possible to make the toolbar bigger on the Mac ?
When I add more icons I get a double arrow by the side to click but I would prefer a deeper toolbar so the icons can be below and on view.
thank you

no, you can't add more rows to it..
(there may be a hack or utility out there that will allow it but i haven't seen it yet.)fwiw, that toolbar (the one along the top of the window) isn't a sketchup toolbar per se.. it's a standard OSX toolbar that's in most osx apps.

So that's why you don't get toolbar chaos on Macs? Do all toolbars then need undocking?

for the most part, mac apps don't have docked toolbars unless the developer makes them from scratch (adobe.. autodesk)
osx toolbars are floatingwe do have a custom toolbar along the top of the window that you can add sketchup or ruby icons to (it's a good place to put single icons that you may use a lot without needing to have the entire plugin toolbar present.. for instance, i have projections.rb but only use it for the cpoint
… so i put the cpoint icon in the custom toolbar and close the main projections toolbar. -
thank you for the reply. I will just stick to my floating windows.

Hi folks.
On my Macs, I position the Large Tool Set on the left with all other tool palettes that I can get from the View Menu. For other tools or palettes, like the Layers's one, I right click on the tool area on top to access the whole tool collection and the I customise it by dragging what is needed there.
Of course, space being limited in this upper area, using floating tool palettes, that can be positionned around the modeling window is a viable solution.
Notice that the Mac Large Tool Set is more complete than the PC Large Tool Set. On PC, I disable this and enable everything else except the Dimension Window (old VCB) that I leave attached to the right end of the Status Bar.
Just ideas.
