      They should all be under View > Toolbars menu.

      A toolbar file is just a text file in the Plugins/Toolbars folder. You can see some example in there already.

      Hi

        That's kind of what I thought. Maybe I need new glasses.

          Uh, this is a dumb question, but you did restart SketchUp, right?

          There should be a toolbars.rb file in Plugins also.

            Not such a dumb question but yes, I did restart SU several times since installing the files. The computer has even been restarted a couple of times since I installed the files.

              OK, did you check the Extensions tab of the Preferences dialog?

              I thought I had done away with the extensions interface, which is why I didn't suggest it first. I can't keep track of my own plugins.

              Hi

                Holy buckets! That did it. I don't think I've had to go in and check a box under Extensions since I first loaded the V6 a long time ago. It didn't occur to me that there'd be a new box to check.

                Thanks Jim. That was the fix.

                      Eh seriously, it is exactly like that! Every button on that page you can use in a custom toolbar... or create new icons
                      RTFM or in this case RTFRBFILES that are included πŸ˜„

                      and again Jim thanx for this one [it's keeping me up at night creating icons 😲 ]

                        no, no, no, your not reading me clearly, πŸ‘Ž i absolutely like the idea of a kind of floating toolbar that has all the tools inside it with the name beside it and if all possible can be customized, exactly like the picture that ive attached earlier.

                            Why? If you hover over the icons you get the name too. Anyways, sorry for the misunderstanding.

                              Jim, this is pretty slick. I made a replacement for the Camera toolbar that includes centerSelection. So now there's eight tools in that bar instead of 7. I include the TXT file for anyone who might want to do the same thing.

                                    Read through the thread.

                                    Go to Preferences and check the appropriate box under Extensions.

                                        Double meaning? As in the icons for togglePerspective and toggleAxes? πŸ˜‰
