The Toolbar Editor for SketchUp is a powerful extension that lets you customize, create, and organize toolbars and menus to streamline your SketchUp workflow. Use it to add frequently used tools, group related commands, create custom toolbars for specific tasks (modeling, rendering, layout), and assign icons and keyboard shortcuts.

1. Total Customization (The "Holy Grail") You can drag any tool from any native or extension toolbar into a single, unified mega-toolbar. I have V-Ray, Artisan, Solid Tools, and native drawing tools all on one compact bar. No more hunting through 15 different dropdowns.
2. Vertical & Compact Toolbars Finally! You can make vertical toolbars that don't look like a glitch. The "Full" version lets you strip away text labels and icons you never use, reducing toolbar width by 70%. I reclaimed an entire vertical strip of screen space on my 1080p monitor.
3. Smart Separators & Grouping You can add visual gaps, lines, or custom labels. I grouped all "Selection" tools together, then a gap, then "Drawing," then "Modify." My muscle memory improved instantly. Usage:
4. Save/Load Layouts This is worth the price alone. You can save "Mode: Modeling," "Mode: Rendering," and "Mode: Sectioning." Swap layouts in one click. If SketchUp crashes, your toolbar setup restores perfectly.
5. Works with EVERY Plugin I have 20+ extensions. Toolbar Editor sees every single button from every single one. It even lets you run Ruby scripts directly from a custom button.
