      One reason I'll never switch to Windows is the new MS ribbon. I'm sorry, but I didn't like Microsoft's ribbon. I found it extremely confusing and counter-intuitive to work with, and I think it ruined Solidworks' otherwise excellent GUI (I'm a "trained in Solidworks" engineer).

      But having got that off my chest ( 😳 ), the idea of having a toolbar containing everything useful and in once place is quite appealing in SketchUp, especially as I now am in need of something a little more advanced than the current and existing tools. So that leads me to ask, will Caleidos4D work on Mac OSX? πŸ˜„

      Thanks.

        I don't know since I haven't tried, but there is nothing that would prevent it from working.

        Nice interface, well done and thanks. Do you have a plan for providing language translations? I'm not sure how best to implement them in a WebDialog - I know Fredo, TIG, and ThomThom have code for this, so maybe someone could make a suggestion.

            I'll be porting VertexTools' translation system to TT_Lib2 - at the moment it has some bits locking it to VT only, but it's not hard to decouple it.

                      sorry for my bad English, but would you be so kind to explain how to use? The interface looks interesting but I can not do anything with it

                      Thank you very much

                        will this mount up in a side monitor? I have three and don't like losing space on top.

                          yup, works on a 2nd monitor.

                            one of my biggest problems is that I don't remember all of my plugins... I do work I don't need to be doing because I forget I don't have to do it any more. toolbars help me remember... a ribbon that's grouping the plugins might be even better. can't wait to try it.

                              the hover tips are in Italian? French?

                              is there a way to change the resolution size of the ribbon? mine doesn't fit inside of 1024?

                              is there a way to make your own ribbon preset?

                                            Hi,

                                            I wanted to try out as a precaution in Sketchup 8. But can not find this plugin. Am I doing something wrong?
