? SU 2013 Custom Toolbars
-
I also have a question about Toolbars : Is it still possible to make two columns large toolbars (I mean to columns of icons) ? This was very usefull to display the large toolset on the left side of the screen. I tried to replicate this in 2013 but each I'm docking the toolbar, it transforms in a one column toolbar. Any idea ?

Yes Pilou,
The problem is that the one column toolbar does not show all icons !! Unless I'm using small icons. But it also depends on screen resolution...After more tests it seems impossible to have a two columns toolbar...what a pity !
-
Yes .. no more multi-column toolbars. Only single column toolbars are compatible with the new toolbar framework.
It is in the Release Notes for v2013 (... did you read them ?)

What do you mean no two column toolbars? I have them.
-
You can have them, but you can't dock them as two.
Nope I lie, you can dock them.
But I think the main complaint is they change to single column themselves when docked.
-
Ahhh... I see. Yeah. Annoying. I don't dock but top and bottom.
-
The fix, for the "can only dock in a single column" problem (it's not a bug...it's just that double-width columns are simply incompatible with the new toolbar flexibility)...is to create new toolbar called Large Toolset 2 (or whatever) and drag every second icon off the large toolset onto that one. Then you can dock them side by side looking exactly the same as before.
I put in a Feature Request for your new icon/toolbar layout to be able to be saved to an external file that can survive a complete re-install of the program...'cos if I'm going to all this trouble, I only want to have to do it once. -

Thanks for the info, did not find the time to read it fully !

is there any way i can get old icons that used to be in earlier version of sketchup in the toolbars of 2013 version?
-
I was attempting to make my custom version of tool bars. I noticed that I could not move the edge style tools into my custom tool bar.
Is this my problem, or a bug?

you can customise your ruby plugins with the Toolbar editor and they will dock as well

@John - I don't know of any way to do that.
@Ken - The custom toolbars only work with the default, non-ruby toolbars of SketchUp. I'm guessing Edge Tools is a plugin. So that one is not customizable.

I was referring to the "Edge Style" toolbar which is a native toolbar. Sorry about the confusion.
Thanks for your quick reply. Also, just a quick observation, you will need to replace the surf board with a snowboard.

Hey Ken, sorry, I looked under "Edge Style" and didn't see a toolbar, so I assumed it was a custom toolbar. IF you are referring to the "Styles" toolbar though, that one should be completely customizable. Are you still unable to customize it?
Chris
-
Yep, I can't move the icon to another toolbar or move other icon to this toolbar.
Thanks for your reply

but as we usually use lots of ruby plugs, it is strongly recommended to manage add-ons in an easier way....
-
anybody know how make plugins toolbars on two rows, like its possible for default panels in SU2014?
-
Like this? Just push the end of the bar toward the center. I don't think you can make it spread across two rows at the top of the screen, though. I suppose you could split the tools between two custom toolbars using Aerilius' Toolbar Editor.
