Hi,

I don't think that there is one...

oh crap, so no way of moving it out of the menu and onto my toolbar?

TIG

Not readily - you can try a openURL with a cmd file containing arguments ? to open googleearth...

etc

Thanks Tig,

I was just playing around with the ruby files for the help menu at the top and was wondering if the other menus such as tools are in a ruby file aswell?

MS Windows ONLY
Sketchup.send_action( 139 )

You must have Google Earth already started or else an error dialog pops up (and says just that.)

(1) You CANNOT move anything out of any menu.
(2) The Google Toolbar already has all the buttons.

Toggle it with: Sketchup.send_action( 10617 )* Show it: UI.set_toolbar_visible('Google', true)* Hide it: UI.set_toolbar_visible('Google', false)
