Dockable tools for Sketchup

KXI System

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,

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.

Hi, infact. Do you need coding or debugging help? I really, really need this, as I'm running on Linux/Wine and the sticky dialog bug is driving me batty. I'm pretty familiar with the Ruby API, but I haven't looked at the C++ API yet, which I'm guessing is what you'd need to write extension.
