Hi Aerilius
Thanks for your input. I have now edited the ruby file as you suggested first up . I am now getting an error message when Sketchup starts up..does that shed any light into the situation?
I have for now reverted back to Sketchup 8, as I find working without the toolbar slows my work flow...
If Jim's tool bar is not going to work or being upgraded for 2013 are there any alternatives for the commands?
I use in particular:
I also use the edge style toolbar quiet frequently
I have left a message on Jim's Sketchup plugin website asking for an update...will keep you posted if I hear anything back...
Cheers
David
Sorry for the late reply guys... I seem to have missed all the action!
I have still the same issues as Bob but for me Krisidious's solution of overwriting the loader.rb hasn't lead to success. By the way I don't know how to view or edit the code of the file.
Here just to confirm:
I moved the Tollbar folder and toolbars.rb into the plugins folder and activated it in the extensions list, it doesn't load at all and does not pop up with an error when Sketchup opens. The Custom Toolbars extension does however show up (ticked) in preferences > extensions...I can't make sense of this...any ideas?
General questions: Does the install extension feature within preferences not recognize the .rb files but only .rbz files? Is this the problem?
Cheers

Hi there
after great hesitation I have now upgraded to 2013 as well. To my horror my favorite plugin called "toolbar" seems not compatible , it offered many great workflow buttons like switching from parallel projection to perspective, toggling axis view, hidden lines and various edge styles. Does anybody recognize this beautiful tool selection (see picture)and can shed some light into how to get this working again in the 2013 version:?:
FYI: I believe the name of the author might have been Nathan Cheever and the plugin has been last updated in 2010...
Cheers
David
