ShowcaseNew UI based on React and Material UI with light and dark themes. ui-dark.png ui-light.png Features- Click-and-drag UI by caption
- Expand/collapse by clicking the caret at the upper-left corner
- Snap UI to the edges of the viewport window (e.g by dragging to one of the view border)
- Fade and unfade effects. If no cursor is present in the UI, the UI fades out - becomes semi transparent.
- Switching full screen now has 3 modes:
- Primary: set full screen on main monitor
- Associated: set full screen on the monitor the sketchup window is associated with
- All: set full screen on all monitors by computing the bounding box all monitors and using that box as the new dimensions of the window.
Requirements- SU2016 - SU2021 (tested on SU2020) Compatibility for SU6 - SU2015 will be added soon.
- Windows operating system only! This will not work with Mac OS X.
- Since v5.0.0, AMS Library no longer needed.

Wow... Some notes (using Windows XP on this machine): - First I was confused until I figured that
- hiding the toolbars hides floating toolbars
- and hiding the control bars hides the parts of the SU window where the docked toolbars are.
- There is already a menu item under Window > "Hide dialogs/Show dialogs" - so your "Child windows" option here is a redundant duplicate.
- When I hide the status bar, any VCB entry still works. This is a pretty good function!
All in all, a very useful plugin - especially (for me) the "control bars" hiding function. Thank you very much! 
I have long wished to be able to hide my (what is here called) "control bars" so that when making tutorial videos or teaching SU online, they do not confuse and scare away beginners.

Doesn't work on my Win7 64bit. Only Child Windows will toggle. I got toolbar chaos on install. Nice concept though

Too bad. Hopefully it can be fixed (as it works on my 32 bit XP). My laptop (with, of course, a much smaller screen where I could use it better than on my 22" desktop monitor) is 64 bit Win 7.
Would there be a possibility to (instead of having a separate menu item to show and display the different elements) toggle them on/off? This would also allow to assign a single shortcut instead of two, different ones.

This is better than I thought. Here is what I did: - Hid the control bar (with the docked toolbars - I only have them on the top in several rows)
- resized my window to extremely narrow (all toolbars by now would have been cluttered) - even narrower than my widest toolbar is - in fact, even the menu jumped into two rows now
- resized my window back to a safe width (where all my toolbars can fit)
- unhid my control bar and nothing was cluttered!
Thank you again - and really hope that those compatibility issues can be solved!

No, its not. The "hide dialogs" hides windows such as entity info, model info, soften smooth edges, but doesn't hides ruby console, photo textures, component options, and other child windows with a certain class that could be hidden. Gaieus wrote:Would there be a possibility to (instead of having a separate menu item to show and display the different elements) toggle them on/off?

It depends. Lets, say we have a "status_bar" option toggled. Checked: visible and Unchecked: hidden. And something happens: The user hides the status_bar using the other script. How would "status_bar" option know whatever it should be checked or unchecked? - Well, use set_validation_proc and let it ask every frame whatever the status_bar is hidden or not. I could make it like that, thought it will slow down sketchup: Dan wrote:Menu.set_validation_procArguments:menu_id: The id of a menu item on this menu. (The id is returned from the add_item method.) block_proc: a block or proc object that will be invoked by Sketchup went it redraws the UI. (Complex conditionals and calling many other methods can slow down Sketchup!)
I could make it toggable, but its ur option: yes or no

Okay, point taken (and I do understand this). Anton_S wrote:It depends. Lets, say we have a "status_bar" option toggled. Checked: visible and Unchecked: hidden.

Point also taken (although I do not understand this)  Anyway, great plugin. Thanks a lot again! I (mainly) use it to hide my "control bars" - although from now on, I may also have some (less frequently used) toolbars also open (or hidden this way). And of course for my 64 bit, Win 7 laptop, the (hopefully easily) updated version will also be welcome!

Have to take my thought back. I thought that set_validation_proc updates every frame, but it only updates once you entered the submenu that contains that item. So, yes I'll modify it to be toggled, including make it work on windows 7 64 bit. Thankyou for your replies!! They make me

What exactly this plugin does? From Rich O'Brien's post ( download/file.php?id=81834&mode=view) I understand that it doesn't work... so let me rephrase: what this plugin SHOULD do? Thank you very much. P.S. - when posting plugins, it would be nice to add a image/animated GIF/movie to visually exemplify what the plugin does, if possible. Some users are already doing this, but I think it should be implemented as a "must" rule, for everybody.

This plugin allows to turn off (or on) certain elements of the SketchUp interface. Something that wasn't possible before. For example someone has no need for a statusbar, or to make SketchUp fullscreen for a presentation. Maybe Anton can make a little gif animation for the first post (or I could do one).

Yes, it should be invalid!!! Wanna know why? Well, I explained it a bit on first post. Its just the way of how shortcut pereferences works. Shortcut Pereferences script tends to select the menu bar items once the shortcut key is pressed. But, When the menu it self is no more there, Sketchup can no longer select the items. What's weird is that once u hide the menu bar other shortcuts that were set by sketchup (Ex: "s" - scale, "p" - push) work, but once u click the shortcut that belong to "show menu bar," all shortcuts stop working. Show/hide menu bar was just for fun, so yeah don't use it. Though, I'll try to fix that issue too.

A bit better version of window settings. Its now better at updating the window and placed inside window/settings/. Can anyone check if it works on windows 7? If it would then I'll make it as a main update.
Edit: See first post to download

The toolbars option is to hide toolbars that are not embedded into SU controll bar, meaning the onece that have a border and caption. They should work. And yes, hide menu option is just for fun, There is no way of unhidding it through shortcut pereferences. Though you could set a timer or call a command to unhide it. Just read throuh posts and you'll figure it out. Have you checked if show/hide "controll bars" work when SU is maximized or full_screen? If didn't, then can you please check that and reply.
