SketchUp [Plugins] Blog: SketchUp Custom Toolbars

I just learned about the custom toolbar plugin from Jim Foltz - Custom Toolbars

I used it to organize the commands I use into a couple of toolbars, which hopefully won't get messed up so often.

We also just added a similar feature to IRender nXt. (although it is RpTools which really needs it - I will put it there next)
