      Does anyone know where SketchUp stores the locations/visibility of toolbars and Trays?

      I have a need for 2 'profiles', one that is for building and another for setting up rendering. My current (build) workspace makes use of both monitors with the main SU window with toolbars on the 1st monitor and the trays (layer, materials, scenes etc) on the 2nd.
      I'd like to have a super clean 2nd profile with only a limited set of toolbars/layouts so I can have the Enscape render window on the 2nd monitor.

      I'm guessing they're in the registry and I'm picturing me exporting a bunch of reg entries to a file, saving it as 'build' then creating my limited profile, exporting the same reg entries to 'render'.
      Theoretically, it should be a simple case of importing the required regfile before I open SU to get the workspace I want at that time.

      I'm familiar with the registry and I'm happy enough to proceed knowing I might kibosh my SU setup but I think if it works it'll be worth the risk.

      English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

        Right then I got it working!
        There are 2 set/groups of registry keys, one that controls the toolbar locations and a 2nd one that controls the trays.
        I made a copy of both, rearranged my toolbars and trays, made a 2nd copy of both and I'm now able to import the appropriate reg file and then open SU with my chosen layout.

        I'm reluctant to post the regfile locations as I don't want to be responsible for screwing others setup up but if you ask I'll message you directly.
