      Greets to all!
      I use the great toolbar.rb plugin.
      Unfortunatly my Ruby skills are very low and I can't manage to create the command script to launch plugins when these only create a toolbar without any menu access.
      For exemple the "rubytoolbar.rb" plugin only creates buttons with no direct access through menus. What would be the associated command script to make it available from the excellent toolbar plugin?

      Thanks....

        Hi tobi,

        It is difficult to include other plugins into the toolbars plugin because was not designed to do it. When I wrote custom toolbars, I wanted a way to create my own toolbars using only the built-in toolbar buttons in SketchUp, and wasn't concerned about including other plugins.

        In order to allow other plugins to use the custom toolbars plugin, custom toolbars would need to be completely re-written to allow a method for other plugins to register in a toolbar. And then, the other plugin authors would need to re-write their plugins to use the custom toolbar registration. It's all a lot of work and there would not likely any incentive for the other plugin authors.

        Hi

          Thanks for your fast answer Jim.
          For what I've seen most of the plugins do generate a direct menu access.
          I'll modify the code the ones I use who don't.
          Thanks again for your excellent toolbar plugin 👍
