      Is it possible to create a toolbar item which would quickly toggle Expert Dimensions on/off?

      I use Sketchup to frame walls for the houses Habitat builds here in Louisville, KY. I create a separate scene for each section of wall, and use dimensions a lot. I like to work with Expert Dimensions on so that I can identify and fix "busted" dimensions. However, before printing I turn Expert Dimensions off; some of my dimensions are actually notes and I don't want them to print the bright green "busted" color.

      I use Sketchup 70 Free, Windows XP.

      I'm an avid user of the great plugins available - some I've been using for so long I forget what's Sketchup and what's a plugin!

      Thank you for any help possible. Lynn

        No, there is no way to control the expert settings from a plugin.

          Thanks, Jim. I had looked through the API and couldn't find anything, but I was hoping I had just overlooked something. Lynn

            I don't know Expert Dimensions, but perhaps you can add a layer for all dimensions to control their visibility?

              You can create a layer of size and use it to enable or disable their visibility...
