      In the web page (noted above) one of the standard toolbars (Scenes) has an extra icon that my installed version does not. Did I do something wrong? :?

      your probably missing the 'Bottom' view?
      Possibly the code has change for it and you haven't actually updated or Jim left it out of the update...

      Oh, and what are these other plugins to be added to it are you referring too?

      The whole point of custom toolbars is it lets you add other plugins to the toolbar, if you have no extra's then doing nothing is fine...

        When I get a chance I will compare the scripts of my SU-8 Toolbars to SU-15 and get back here with the findings.

          I just compared the Toolbar files for SU-8 and SU-15.

          They are identical.

          The Toolbar.rb is...

          *require "sketchup"
          require "extensions"

          path = File.join(File.dirname(FILE), "toolbars", "files", "loader.rb")
          ext = SketchupExtension.new("Custom Toolbars", path)
          ext.description = "Loads your custom Toolbars."
          ext.creator = "Jim Foltz jim.foltz@gmail.com"
          ext.copyright = "2008 Jim Foltz"
          ext.version = "2008-04-04"
          Sketchup.register_extension ext*

          Is there anything more recent?

              My error was installing "toolbars" and not the newer renamed "jc-toolbars".

              I deleted the old toolbars and all is now well.

              Thank again. πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                Other than the day I installed the toolbars, I haven't used SU-15 till yesterday.

                When it powered up I noticed 2 toolbars were missing of the 3 I use (the Scenes and the one with hide/unhide icon). I checked, and it was active in extensions, but the TB's themselve were not in the List Toolbars.

                I reinstalled but no change. Searching I found the JF-Toolbars menu with the "Show Errors"

                This is the output.....

                *cannot load such file -- purgeall.rb

                I noted above that I need to load "Purgeall.rb" but it was not there when I first installed and it worked OK.

                Why would I need it when the problem occurs before any model is loaded? Only my template is up.


                Edited

                Just installed Purgeall but no change to toolbars. πŸ˜• Error message is gone. πŸ‘

                  hello,
                  how look a ruby-snipped to have a plugin with an icon?

                  some developer have only plugins that's work in menue. ok i could add short-cuts for this, however sometimes i would have a toolbar with all my most used plugins together.

                    Kinda wondering why no response to my last post. ❓ ❓

                    I just deleted the toolbars dir and .rb and reinstalled.
                    No errors.
                    No toolbars.

                    I looked at the Toolbars dir and the TB's I wanted were not there.

                    I looked at my SU-8 TB dir and there they were.
                    Copied both missing TB txt files over and now I have my TB's.... finally. β˜€

                      Dear Jim,

                      I just wanted to thank you for this updated plugin. I've recently gone for Sketchup Pro as I'm using it more and more these days, and I have bought a new beast of a PC to run it on.

                      I have been looking for this tool for ages now. I couldn't remember what it was called as I though it was a small selection of useful tools that someone had put together as a dedicated toolbar. But then I remember customizing it myself, and eventually I found you had updated it for 2014. I've got SU pro 2015 and it works a treat (so far). It certainly saves me from having a bunch of toolbars open that I would only perhaps need one tool from each, thereby saving loads of space.

                      Thank you again. I specifically find the hide selection and rest of model buttons indispensable!

                      Ian

                              That's great to know. Except that this plugin / extension is nowhere to be downloaded from now, not here on SketchUcation and not from Jim's blogspot either.
