Invisible Toolbars????

We are indeed working on a fix for this in SketchUp 2013. It was a last minute regression that snuck in. Hopefully our fix will address a number of the initial toolbar state issues.

Usually the 'invisible' new toolbar is made docked stuck below an existing toolbar in the top-bar, instead of the correct floating version. Moving the overlaid toolbars off and double-clicking the stuck new one usually fixes the issue.
A recent report in another SCF thread [reported separately to Chris Fullmer: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=477668#p477668] had a similar 'invisible' toolbar issue on an XP machine, BUT although it was 'checked' as visible it was not found to be docked on any of the bars... Having got the OP to do the registry hack of deleting its entries after SketchUp it was still 'invisible'... usually on Win7 etc it is added to the top-bar docked but suitably spaced between others... on the XP PC it was now docked beneath the top-bars other docked toolbars BUT beneath them, so the initial drag off + double-click to loosen fix worked that time...
Of course none of this would be necessary if the new toolbar were always created 'floating' [like it should be], or at least some startup code ensured that no two docked toolbars occupy the same space, thereby avoiding this overlay/gluing issue [and also to fix preexisting issues when v13M1 appears]

On a separate note...
I have also reported separately that there is another 'floating' toolbar issue, I'll reiterate it here in case you are not in that loop...
Here's how to replicate it...
On a Win7 computer [although I suspect other OS will have the same issue?]
Open SketchUp 2013.
Arrange some docked and some floating toolbars - use a mix of native, native-ruby and ruby...
Close SketchUp.
Open SketchUp.
All toolbars are remembered just as you left them.
Now minimize SketchUp to the task-bar.
Right-click > context-menu on its task-bar icon and choose 'Close'.
Open SketchUp.
All docked and floating native toolbars are remembered just as you left them.
BUT all floating native-ruby and ruby created toolbars have been deactivated !!!

Thanks TIG, we've got each of these logged and are looking at them.

but ... so far so good , it is indeed the new version .

It is been solved the copy -paste in Layout

Help > Check for Update from within SketchUp should also work - and give you a download link.

JuanV.Soler

yes thomthom it would but it doesn´t yet
by the way don´t you think it´ll be worth to tell somewhere else this new release better than here in the Bug´s forum ?

TIG

I think they'll be making a bigger more formal announcement, Tyler just wanted to say that this particular issue was fixed - as it was clearly something of an embarrassment to them...

Tyler Miller

Yep. We've posted the new installers, but have yet to push the updater mechanism. We often wait a couple days to make sure things are stable in the wild before enabling the Help > Check for Update mechanism.
