If I was working on a larger screen, I would put more of them out and push them off to the sides. These toolbars don’t dock like they do on the PC so its easy to have a mess of floating toolbars on your screen. MacBook Pro and the screen is fairly small, I generally only bring out toolbars when I need them and get rid of them when I don’t. Of course the list will be dependent upon the extensions you have installed. You’ll select them under View>Tool Palettes. Of course you can also bring out individual toolbars for the various plugins that have them. That’s great when there’s perhaps only one or two tools out of a set that you’d use frequently enough keep out. If an extension or plugin you have installed has toolbars, the icons should also be displayed here and they would be available to drag out on to the top. With this screen open you can drag icons to the top toolbar as needed. When you click on View>Customize Toolbar, you’ll get a large window that looks something like this: On the Mac you can only have one row of toolbars across the top but you can customize that row and show only the essential tools. I have the large tool set displayed on the left side and some tools across the top. There’s not much in the way of tools compared to my PC version. Here’s my Mac screen when I first start up.
For the most part everything is exactly the same on the Mac.
In my previous blog post I wrote about setting up SketchUp to suit your preferences.
