I see, no worries hope they fix it soon. Thanks

Hi,

in the components panel you have a drop down of In Model and Components is there anyway to remove In Model and have it load up straight onto the Components Folder?

@unknownuser said:

The toolbar_names method is used to returns the name of all the available toolbars (this differs between PC and Mac).

> UI.toolbar_names ["Standard", "Principle", "Camera", "Drawing", "Edit", "Construction", "Walk", "DisplayMode", "StandardViews", "Section", "Google", "GettingStarted", "VCB"]

I dont suppose you know what the toolbar name would be for the large toolset do you?

Thanks,
Simon

I seem to be getting errors am I doing this right:

@compress = "no"

# EXPLODE TOOL
     model=Sketchup.active_model
     cmd = UI;;Command.new("Explode"){
 result = UI.messagebox "This will Compress your Climbing Frame meaning you cannot edit past this point!\n\n Would you like to continue?\n\nNote; Only Do This Once Per Model", MB_YESNO
 if result == 6 # Yes
   model.entities.to_a.each{|e|e.explode if e.class==Sketchup;;Group or e.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance}
   Morisdov.att_get
   @compress = "yes"
 end
     }
     cmd.small_icon = "finished.png"
     cmd.large_icon = "finished.png"
     cmd.tooltip = "Compress | Compress your Climbing Frame"
     cmd.status_bar_text = "Compressing your Climbing Frame"
     cmd.menu_text = "Compress"
     toolbar = toolbar.add_item cmd
     toolbar.show

# VIEW CART
     model=Sketchup.active_model
     cmd = UI;;Command.new("Explode"){
	 if compress == "yes" {Morisdov.att_get}
	 if compress == "no" {UI.messagebox("Before Viewing Your Cart Make Sure You Have Compressed Your Climbing Frame\n\nNote; You Only Need to Compress Once")}
     }
     cmd.small_icon = "check.png"
     cmd.large_icon = "check.png"
     cmd.tooltip = "View Cart | View a List of Items Used"
     cmd.status_bar_text = "Loading Cart"
     cmd.menu_text = "View Cart"
     toolbar = toolbar.add_item cmd
     toolbar.show

Thanks for the help by the way guys, much appreciated

excellent, works like a dream thanks dude. I can now finally say SOLVED

now I know this isnt related to my initial question however you guys know your stuff and I dont want to go making yet another topic. is there anyway to set a variable in ruby like you can in javascript.

in my toolbar I have two tools that rely on each other, a compress tool and a checkout tool before you checkout you need to compress.

is there anyway that only my tools even I can have it so that when you click compress it sets a variable like:
compress = true

and my default have compress = false then on my checkout tool have:

if (compress = true){
event
}
else {
alert
}

I think you are right! if its working from the ruby console and its working on the toolbar and its not working on load it must be because the toolbar is false until it has loaded.

anyway to add a delay onto the .rb file and have it only run once sketchup is fully loaded?

it is so that the user can see only my toolbar which is explained when they download, what is so bloody confusing is that when I put the event:

UI.set_toolbar_visible("GettingStarted", false)

inside of a toolbars tool event it works fine and hides it however when I put it lose inside the .rb file nothing happens!

this is driving me crazy I might just leave it as they have to click a button on my toolbar to hide it.

Ok, neither of the methods worked I also tried it using v7 and its still not working.

it is defiantly doing something as when all the plugins are disabled it will disable the toolbar then on the next reopen the toolbar will open so it just seems to be toggling it :s
