    I just installed the Solid Inspector plug-in (great tool!) and put its icon in my toolbar. While re-arranging toolbars, I pulled the SI icon down into my main viewing area. When I went to move it back, I couldn't "grab" it with my cursor anymore. So the icon is just sitting there in the middle of all my drawings. Distracting. I've tried turning the icon off and on again using the View menu, but it always comes back in the same place. It's a small icon, so apparently my cursor can't see whatever area there is for selecting it. Help!

      What happens if you set SketchUp to use large icons? Does that make it possible to grab?

        Good idea, but no, I can't grab the large icon, either.

          It should have a title bar, albeit very small, if you can double click on it next to the close button it should jump back to the last place you had it. If you have no close button showing then there is some other issue.

              Who can remember, I probably accidentally double clicked a toolbar at some point and noticed what it did.

                Fair enough. Glad you remembered it.

                  Sorry. I didn't know you weren't grabbing its title bar and didn't think of that because it's so second nature to me. Glad you got it sorted with Box's help.

                    since I also use certain icons in the viewport occasionally, thanks for this double clicking tip!! - I didn´t know that too...
