Thanks Fredo!

That solution worked well. I hope SU8 does not let the toolbars escape once again (the Fredo6 collection toolbar seems to play truant often.)

BTW it is confusing to have window settings in two different menus:

• Tools>Fredo6 collection>plugInName>Default parameters and
• Windows>LibFredo6 settings > Default parameters

TIG, thanks for the tip; but I already follow what you described (that is what I posted earlier: I undock the toolbar; fold it in a two-column configuration, and dock it again.)

I actually described three possibly related problems.
One of them is resolved thanks to the settings.

The other two problems which are not yet resolved are-

1. The Fredo6 toolbar snaps back to a three-column configuration on its own.
2. ALL the toolbars escape their docking positions and pile up vertically (each toolbar takes up one line on its own). Then I have to drag each toolbar back to the top or left of the screen. This is a huge time-waster.

In fact, I face the toolbar problem even without restarting SU8 OR restarting the PC: It simply happens even while I am working SU8. All of a sudden the toolbars escape and occupy the top of the screen, leaving very small space for the canvas area.

I mentioned all three problems here because I am not sure whether the problem lies in SU8 or Fredo's plugin system. I somehow feel they are related.

Thanks.

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies.

I am using v3.7b (confirmed by using the Window>LibFredo6 settings...>About menu). Yet I do not see the Active options at statup section at all. It only has four sections: Plugin configuration, inference for lines, Check for update and Palette configuration. It does not have the two sections shown in Fredo6's screenshot.

I tried to "Reset factory" button, but it did not change anything.

There is another problem, which may be related: When I restart SletchUp, the FredoScale6 toolbar on its own folds into a 3-column toolbar, as shown here:

This does not happen always, but very often. I have to drag the toolbar in the "canvas" area, fold it into a two-column toolbar and place it back.

%(#0040FF)[I am not sure whether this is a problem in FredoScale toolbar or a problem with SU8; because twice all the toolbars became flat horizontal bars, and escaped their positions, and lined up vertically (one below the other).

While looking for solution, I read that SU has a bug which makes it forget the toolbar positions. While SU8 has improved, the problem is not resolved entirely.]

The screenshot is attached (this is link to my Dropbox account. Please let me know if there is a better way to share images. Thanks in advance!)

As the image shows, the FredoScale toolbar is wider than the other toolbars, such as "Drawing", "Construction", etc.

Hi all!

It's my first post here; so pardon me if there are any unintentional lapses.

I am facing a small problem with the FredoScale's toolbar: The buttons require some buffer space on the right. So, if I fold the toolbar in two columns, the width of this toolbar does not match the other two-column toolbars (e.g. the SU's own "Large tool set").

Can this toolbar width be standardized?

Thanks in advance!
