Having some fun on windows with customizing toolbars in LayOut, there is a built-in image editor that let’s you create or modify the icons. Since there where non for clipping masks, I created some. The image editor is a tiny pixel editor inside the windows version of LayOut, and you can even customize the image editor, too!! ![editor](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/0/c/0c6e75cf178adc006eadb34a9b5e61e2cd97b340.jpeg) [https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/8/a/8a4b344e1caffc0738e819efbb236334fadab8a5.mp4](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/8/a/8a4b344e1caffc0738e819efbb236334fadab8a5.mp4) ![edit](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/1/9/191e53f1ec30c2da34113a03e7ec53190ac7cf39.jpeg) guess what the bomb does? ---

Could your new Clipping mask icon be at all related to a certain pesky little ailment doing the rounds right now? Perhaps instead of reading Create Clipping Mask, it should read Covid Aware Area? ---

I would like to swear out aloud!!! Another new Sketchup Release Another rebuilding all my custom toolbars for Layout Seriously amateurish software LAYOUT is Why do users have to make their own icons for basic [any] software commands? Why can’t LO remember my customisation on upgrades ??? Why can’t it even allow me to manual save my customisation Wasting hours with all this #$%#$^# LAYOUT is no laughing matter ---

Upgrading basically means installing another program. It’s a relic from the ‘classic license era’. With the new introduced fileformat, which basically means that any future version of SketchUp can be opened with 2021,I hope they tend to switch to a ‘versionless’ version and upgrades. ---

_Chief of 12 peers in Charlemagne’s court, a knight renowned for heroism and chivalry!_ LayOut does need one of those!
