      This is a common request. But it is difficult to realize. We would have to get all plugin authors to adhere to a certain standard. It is not likely this feature will be included in the ver8 update. (But it's on the future list.)

      This "certain standard" is something that might limit the freedom in making the script, or is something easy to achieve and will not affect in any way the scripting manner?
      Why I am asking? Because your plugin is maybe the best method to customize SU interface. And maybe if you make a call to arms, there will be some (if not all) plugin masters who will join in this ๐Ÿ’š
      I must admit that I'd be most pleased if this would happen (I'm a little selfish, ain't I ? ๐Ÿ˜’ )

        "I agree, this is the answer. To be able to drag & drop buttons to build Toolbars, and then drag & drop Toolbars in a window. It can be done, someone just needs to do it.

        There is a plugin named SU Tool that is very close to what I think is the best solution; but it is encrypted (or I'd have "borrowed" it already.) But SU Tool is likely close to what the ultimate solution will look like."


        this is the way the plugins PowerSutool organizer works.
        to arrange the toolbars.
        using a html interface, and a text editor

        Maybe this can help find a solution?

        other solution
        http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?page=dragDrop

        Diego, can you give more of an explanation of how this works? You mention an HTML editor and a text editor but there's not enough info for my non-programming brain to work out. Your links don't seem to relate to editing of the toolbars. I'm bugged by the standard UI (and I know I'm far from alone on this) and so want to be able to tweak the toolbars and icons so any info on how to do this would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

                I'm surprised that more people don't use this. Having quick access for toggling on/off hidden geometry, work lines, hide rest of model, perspective and a few other of my most often used tools is invaluable to me. It saves me truckloads of time. Thanks Jim.

                      Why can't you do it with SU2013 or SU2014? I have keyboard shortcuts for toggling visibility of those things that were set up in SU6 and I've continued to use them for all versions since then.

                        Plus you can customise native and plugin toolbars.

                        And this plugin does work in 2014

                          sure, i know you can do this by keyboard shortcuts.. but i like to do this sort of thing with toolbars buttons, having basically any sort ofshortcuts + modifier combo (ctr+alt+...) already assigned to tons of tools/plugins and so on..

                              I wouldn't answer a question if I hadn't checked the answer.

                              BTW it also works in 2013. and yes I have installed and checked it.

                                I like to have buttons for things that I use fairly often but not often enough that I have the shortcuts programmed into my fingertips. Thos being the case, it's faster for me to have the buttons instead of pausing to remember what the shortcut is and having to try a couple of keys before I finally get it.

                                Otherwise you are right. Shortcuts are always faster, as long as you remember what they are.

                                  And where is the key "Make component"?

                                    Not all SketchUp commands are available from the Ruby API. If the API does not support a command, as it does not with Make Component, then the command will need to be recreated from the beginning. It is possible to recreate the Make Component command in Ruby. I will work on it this coming week, unless someone has already written such and and would be kind enough to share it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                      I'm a bit confused Jim, Make component is available in your toolset.
                                      Perhaps the question is what Key stroke is Make Component, the default for that is g.

                                        Heh, so it is. it's called "makeComponent" of all things.

                                        Unfortunately, it uses a send_action which does not appear to work in SketchUp 2014.

                                        Hi

                                          Works perfectly in my version of 2014.
