This video shows you how to configure toolbars in SketchUp 2016 in Mac OS X. The default tool set is discussed, and the large tool set is also added to the interface. Additional toolbars can be added as needed, and the SketchUp interface can be customized by clicking and dragging tools to the desired location.
- [Instructor] Now let's move over to the Mac…and configure our toolbars there.…Now, configuring toolbars on the Mac…is a little bit different than Windows,…so let's take a look at how this works.…All of this happens under the View menu.…So, if I go into View, Tool Palettes,…you'll see a number of standard palettes…that I can select.…Probably the most important one is the Large Tool Set.…So when I select that, you'll see that it shows up here…on the left-hand side of my screen.…Now, this is a floating palette here,…so I can position it however I want.…
I do like to keep it…on the left-hand side of the screen.…Kind of keeps it out of the way.…Now, if I want to get rid of this,…I can just close it.…Now, we do have a number of other tool palettes here,…and you can bring those up as well.…So, if I were to bring up the Sandbox one here,…you can see that's a slightly smaller toolbox.…But again, you can float it.…I'm going to go ahead and close that as well.…Now, when I pull down the View menu,…you'll see an option here called Customize Toolbar.…
