      Has anyone come accross a ruby that can dock the sketchup menus like components browser ,layers brower, shadow browser etc.
      I find them too intrusive in my workspace. I would like to give them their own space... as in dock them permanently like how you can do in autocad.

      I am also in search of a ruby which can make the sketchup toolbars stay where they are. I use lots of ruby toolbar , so at any time I have more than 50 tools on the sketchup window. But at times they tend to arrange themselves in vertically, horizontally.... basically crazily all over the screen eating up the workspace. Or I have to reaarange them every time i open a new su file.

      Yet another request would be for customising toolbars.

      Does anyone know?

      regards

          Ok Chris ,

          I did it. It worked.
          thou I tried only with few commands as I have to type each and every command name in the text file. Is there any easier way?
          I saw this http://bp1.blogger.com/_ogonR-k5OoM/SFQzmxh8aeI/AAAAAAAAHXQ/pifUCnbkhf8/s1600-h/toolbar_commands.jpg on the toolbar webpage. Does this mean that I can drag and drop the tools into a toolbar?
          what about rubies. Can they be added too?

            Hi Pritam,

            There is no drag & drop functionality. Just create a file and use a text editor to make a list of the command names. Although it is possible to add custom Rubies, it is not as easy as it could be. I've always meant to revisit Custom Toolbars and add this feature; however, I think I'll wait and see what Rick comes up with.

            Hi

              thanks Chris and Jim. I managed to put all the standard tools in one palette. Now they dont stray around. But the real problem remains with the rubies. I have over 100 plugin tools on screen when I work. You mentioned some method of adding the rubies too. What is it? I'd like to try it before I give up.
