That could be a nice change! For guys like me who wrestle with having virtually NO quick time period reminiscence, it was irritating to maintain trying to find the instruments time and again … “Now WHERE was that OFFSET instrument! …”

Now the entire instrument pallet seems with a single click on! BRAVO!!!

Allow us to lock it open, my display screen is large and I take advantage of all options simply give me all of the instruments directly, or make the toolbar develop into wider if I insert all instruments. A 4×11 grid would match all of the instruments.

Is anybody else having the problem with toolbar icons disappearing from the menu after utilizing them? It’s driving me nuts, they reappear randomly later. It’s making the online instrument unusable for me. I’m on a macbook professional with chrome.

I’m having this challenge too

LOVE the toolbar modifications! Or quite, I was loving them till the little 3-dots button on the backside went away and I can’t get it again. Assist?

Hello Steven, are you able to inform me extra concerning the challenge you’re having? The place are they disappearing from? When you take a look at the graphic above, is it disapearing from zone 1 (Foremost Toolbar), zone 2 (Prolonged toolset) or zone 3 (Latest Instruments). If it’s zone 3, that’s by design – that space is supposed to solely present the three most just lately used instruments from the prolonged menu and if you would like them to ‘stick round’ you possibly can transfer them to the principle toolbar. If it’s zone 1 or 2, please inform us extra concerning the challenge so we are able to resolve it!

Hello Donny,

Are you able to inform me extra about what you imply it “disappeared”? Are you able to share a screenshot? It needs to be accessible in all situations!

Hello Sketchup crew. The icons are completely disappearing from the online menu and the one means to make use of them is to make use of a shortcut key. For instance see these screenshots with the lacking pencil icon. They then reappear randomly later I haven’t found out the sequence to make them reappear. They disappear after getting used. I’m on chrome Model 111.0.5563.146 (arm64) on Mac OSX 13.2.1.

Sure, I see that within the screenshot. Thanks for reporting this. This hadn’t come up in any of our testing, so we are going to examine and get again to you. When you do occur to determine what the steps to repro it are, please tell us. And thanks for the browser/OS. That can assist us monitor it down.

Are you able to please attempt to go to the Prolonged Toolset menu, click on Edit then click on on Reset? I want to see if this fixes your points. However nonetheless we might want to determine the trigger.

I adopted the steps above to reset and it did repair the problem.

Thanks, please tell us for those who get into that state once more. Hopefully we are able to seize some steps.

Hello Gopal, I believe it (disappearing instrument icon) might have occurred to me as soon as. However not 100% certain so I hold an eye fixed open to see if it occurs (once more). This was final week when the change was new to me.

Thanks for all of the work and energy that the crew places into enhancing SketchUp for Internet.

That is fairly a change and it takes time to get accustomed to the brand new instrument units against the previous “fly outs”.
I do have a want or two (or three) although concerning the new toolbar. Would id be potential to have a double colom set of instruments.
To have extra instruments immediately accessible I now must shrink the instruments ([Ctrl+scroll wheel) and either add more tools or add more “Recent Tool Slots”. And while I’m at it, it would also help tremendously if the “Separator” would be more visible, a much thicker line. See the need to shrink the toolbar and its icons above to see more tools (which makes the separaort even thinner).
Last thing for now, could there be an option to create a shortcut to bring up the “Extended Toolset”. Instead of having to click on the three dots.

That’s an excellent idea. +1

Can you save your model and reload Donny? And let me know if your menu comes back. This is supposed to be responsively designed, such that it adapts to your window size, but sometimes it requires refreshing the app.

Can you please add the following details:

I am new to SketchUp and really enjoy it, so thank you to the engineer team, developers, and organization for allowing use of the free version.

In my learning (2 months now), I came to really enjoy the toolbar with the “pop outs”. I had an idea of what as included with each pop out so I somewhat knew where to go. For example, the tape measure pop out included the dimension tool and other tools. With the new toolbar those “pop outs” are no longer available. I have to fumble around and try to remember what each tool represented.

Is there a classic version or a way to use the pop outs again, or will I just need to adjust?
