I’ve been recently using the FredoTools extension, which I find very useful to perform different matters. But the thing that pleased me more is the way it embeds some tools into the viewport, like for example the Angle Inspector. [image] I found it interesting and I’m trying to do the same in one…

@Aerilius had a GUI toolkit on github for awhile, not sure if it’s still there… it’s basically draw(view) from Class: Sketchup::Tool not trivial… john

I would generally advise against this type of head up display if a window can be used instead. Windows can be moved away from where the user is modeling and are less noisy due to how they are framed into one single element. It is also much easier to style the content of a window too feel like a part…

Also, Fredo had to put quite a lot of effort into getting his custom toolbars to scale properly on high-dpi monitors. For a long time I couldn’t use them on my MacBook Pro Retina because the text was too tiny to see. Unless he is still sharing his library as John observed, this would be a very dif…

Certainly if the way to implement that is to play with Sketchup::Tool::draw(view) and OpenGL primitives I am going to think it twice before getting to it. Besides, the functionality I aim is not simple at all, so I’m not quite sure that I can achieve it with this approach.

If you want the SketchUp HTML Dialog to be placed in the right corner of the View position and also eliminate the Window Dialog borders & title then the example below is for you. This will kinda make it look like its drawn in the vieport instead of being an extra window. Also, the code need some ext…

@indie3d that’s definitely an intermediate and cool solution that allows the user to keep working with the standard web development tools and gives the appearance of an embedded menu. I’ll dig a little deeper in the Windows API and let’s see what I can do. Thanks.

Hi, Just in case you want to add more window styles on the same windows then do as follows… Just add ‘|’ inbetween them on the call below… ## https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/winmsg/window-styles ws_visible = 0x10000000 # The window is initially visible. ws_border = 0x00800000 # T…
