But if one crowded tray doesn’t work for you, you can set up additional trays to *almost* mimic how individual windows used to work.įirst, go to Window / Default Tray. I’ve been accustomed to my little UI windows for years now, and it’s disconcerting to have this limitation on where they can go. But most SketchUp users don’t use LayOut and won’t understand where this change is coming from. I get that the tray setup is supposed to make SketchUp look and feel more like LayOut, and consistency is a good thing, I suppose. I’m not sure yet how I feel about this change. (And if you’re a Mac user, none of that has changed, for now.) Used to be that you could have UI windows wherever you wanted – stacked up with other windows, minimized, or open individually all over the place. (I find the minimized tray annoying – I keep mine open or close it altogether.) Also, if you click the pin icon in the tray’s title bar, you’ll minimize the tray into a tab – the tray opens when your cursor is on the tab. Or you can just place the tray anywhere in the middle of the screen. The tray doesn’t seem to work well docked to the top or bottom, but left and right docking is fine. You can move the tray itself by dragging its title bar, and you can dock the tray (attach it) by dragging it to an edge of the SketchUp window. Within the tray you can re-order windows by dragging title bars up and down. Here’s my default tray, docked to the left side of my SketchUp window.
SketchUp provides one tray by default, populated with a few standard UI windows. This post will show how you can manage trays, create new ones, and set up shortcuts to open specific trays and windows.
(In versions before 2015, windows could be displayed separately. If you’re a PC user who’s using SketchUp 2016, all of your UI windows are now in one or more trays.
