Dockable tools for Sketchup
-
I remember the first 2 or three versions of sketchup used dock-able palettes. I still like them better than the floating ones we have now. Have you managed to make them dock again?
-
Ah, well they can float too. It's a plugin that adds window docking, also lets you "hide" the docked windows as tabs (see screenshot).
There is still some work to do (saving the window layout .etc), so I wanted to see what people though, and if it was worth continuing development.
-
i like it! the tabs are very nice, it would be nice to see a tabbed tool palette on the opposite side, customizable of course.
-
Yes, I would like this...
-
and the correct answer is 'gimme! gimme nowwwww!!'
-
I'll settle for some superglue to keep my existing ones where I leave them.

I'm better off with duck tape

Would be excellent.
-
A solution I have hoped to see is a two-window solution where I can have my drawing window be on one screen, but then have all the other modules docked on a separate window on my second monitor.
Just a thought.
-
Wait, do you mean dockable toolbars, or dockable windows?
Many people would really like a solution to lock toolbars (on Windows, at least.)
-
infact: would it be possible to dock a WebDialog like that?
-
maybe use a similar system to what adobe using with its products ...
-
Yeah I would like to have all the tools on my second monitor similar to Photoshop where all the windows just snap together!
-
Is this addon available? If it is I would be very appreciative if someone could show me where to get it. Thanks you.
Good job on the addon by the way. -
It seems that the author "infact" has never come back with it (since February!).
I don't know where the project is at right now.

Hello,
I had to stop work on the project for a while, but I plan to continue it at some point.
I'm not sure how long it will take to finish, and how long Sketchup will be around for.
Perhaps I'll take a look at it over the next few weeks.
Regards,
infact

Yes, all Sketchup dialogs can be made to dock like that.
I'll look at it soon I think!
-
Any chance we can see an experimental developers version? To poke about in the code?

Yes this is a possibility, but there are some major stability issues that really affect its usability. I will try to fix these and make some sort of "preview" build.
