        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.

              Ooooh,...

              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.

                        Just curious if anyone discovered the "double" meaning of some of the icons? πŸ˜„

                        Nathan Cheever (alz) is the one who did all the work and deserves all the kudos for the custom icons. Thanks again, Nathan!

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

                                Well,... thats one way of saying thank you πŸ˜„

                                But creating icons for it is hard since you have to scale it down to 24x24 [I'm not going near the 16x16 icons 😲 πŸ˜„ ]

                                But I'm getting there πŸ˜†

                                  James, all you need to do to make a new icon is export a PNG, make the background transparent and resize it to 24x24 and 16x16 pixels. Replace the "No Icon" image for the icon you are making in the Toolbars\Images folder with the new icon.

                                  This is a first try but it doesn't read so well in the toolbar.

                                      I probably should have saved the SketchUp file then. πŸ˜„

                                        Before you go too crazy with the icons, here's a note from alz:

                                        @unknownuser said:

                                        I'll have a big batch of Icons
                                        for you this weekend. I'm ravamping them to be
                                        less hmmm... pixelly and more smooth-ish like the
                                        original SU icons.

                                        I will likely include what he so generously made in the next release of the plugin.

                                        Hi

                                          Jim,
                                          Great effort on this. This is something that a lot of people want, or can use. Those of us who have come from Autocad are used to customizing commands. It leaves one question though, why didn't Google put something like this into the program.

                                          Best,
