OK, got it working now... what an idiot!!! (me, most def not you)

Instead of extracting the zip files, I saw and pulled only the toobars.rb file. No wonder your instructions appeared so confusing regarding moving the "folder."

Makes no sense that something as fundamental as this isn't included with SU or why it doesn't follow the same customize toolbar procedure as in layout?

Anyway, can't thank you enough for creating this and your help!!!

BTW, is there a command for displaying components or the same as:
Window > Component?

Many thanks again...

Thanks guys,

Now can someone explain in simple language how to implement Jim's Custom Toolbars?

Tried to figure it out but I'm missing something. Got as far as moving the "toolbars.rb" file into the SU "plugins" folder> I checked the "Custom Toolbars" within the "preferences > extensions" box and added a custom toolbar file with .txt - but I'm n to sure what I need to add to the .txt file and if I should change the extension .rb?

Appreciate any assistance..

Sorry for the noob question but I'm really struggling with this...
Been researching all over the web for an answer but haven't found one so far - hopefully someone here can help?

In SU there is supposed to be the ability to modify the toolbars in the latest Windows version... right?

Since I upgraded to Pro today I thought this problem would resolve itself but hasn't. I keep looking for the "customize" menu item but can't find it anywhere - can someone please advise?!

Thanks much

Greetings Everyone!

Started using SketchUp a few days ago and like a drug addict, I just can't get enough. I'm a former mechanical product engineer and come from a world of Pro/E, Acad, SolidEdge, etc. This is by far the most intuitive program and I'm really enjoying it.

BTW, I've been working on modifying my entertainment center using SketchUp first and have run into a few minor questions... guess I need to post it in the appropriate area so as not to offend anyone?

Thanks and look forward to mingling some more.
