      (Plus you have many redundant folders of older versions of Fredo's plugins.)

      Yeah I know that but I'm dont want to go deleting the wrong ones.
      If you can help in pointing out the redundant ones I would be very grateful.

      @Tobobo: It looks like you have some stray files in your plugin folder that are not located where they should. In particular there seems to be files related to VfSU scattered.

      With the latest version, 1.49.01, only vfs.rb is located in the Plugins folder.

      I'm having some real problems with VRay at the moment. IT are being slow in resolving online validation problems. 😑

          John's minimalistic UI is my dream, but I'm not quite there yet. I have dual monitors at 1920x1080 so I had to reduce the resolution of the screenshot. The only icons most people won't recognize are the last several icons which consist of my Maxwell Render toolbar.

          As you can see I have a number of plugins (I pare this down periodically so most of the ones on there I use on a regular basis) but I prefer to use keyboard shortcuts. I'd use shortcuts for the remaining toolbars but at this point I'd have to use keyboard combos that wouldn't make much sense and would end up wasting time trying to figure out what the combo is.

          I'm surprised by how many people here use one monitor (so the menus get in the way) and have TONS of icons. That sort of setup would drive my crazy.

          You'll also notice if you look real close, that I have my plugins folder in Dropbox so my plugins are synced between my computers.

                Compared to some of the others mine is positively barren. But I very much doubt I would need or use all of those plug ins anyway.

                      This is after I opened SU > Pressed the "Display desktop" button in my tray before SU fully loaded then found SU with my toolbars completelymessed up and then I reset the toolbar positions. Still quite messy (and sorry for the OT post John, but this is also"My SketchUp") πŸ˜†

                        I use the various inspector as I need them but do not keep anything but these toolbars open "all the time".

                          I suggest you guys also show up your "hotkeys" too. Having a good hotkey combination would speed up your progress a lot

                            I have 2 plugins folders 😳 because I share some plugins with other computers at work. When I upgrade a plugin, everybody can use it. I use Native plugins folder for plugins I can't modify, and new plugins I test.

                                  all the toolbars on mac except for the custom toolbar along the top of the window are floating.. you just arrange (drag them around) the various toolbars where you'd like them to be..

                                  how is yours set up? where are the toolbars?

                                          John, you sound like a psychiatrist....throwing back a question with "Well, what do YOU think....?"
                                          Personally, I'm quite surprised at the uniformity of the layouts. Most people...myself included...go for toolbars top and left with a selection of inspectors on the right. Sure, some others have extra toolbars on the other 2 sides, but the first layout forms the basis for just about everyone.

                                          There might be a case for making a Jumbo Standard set of icons, something like mine on P2. The left hand edge is reserved for default functions like drawing, navigation, face styles and sections (apart from the Search FormFonts button at the bottom πŸ˜‰ . Other than a few bars like shadows and layers, i keep the the top edge free for 3rd party stuff. A jumbo set of standard icons would certainly take some of the pain out of a toolbar scramble. It would require a certain minimum screen size of course...no good for a Netbook; but it would be useful as an option.

                                            I guess placing GUI elements on the left\right sides VERTICALLY shaped would be a wise strategy. The Autodesk-like
                                            horizontal ribbons tend to squash already wide sreen monitors 🀒
