Hello,

I’m the inventor of the Spaceball, SpaceOrb 360 and astroid spatial mice.

The “astroid on Rhino 8” plug-in is almost done - just waiting to code sign it to avoid various warnings.

Can anyone show how to automatically install the astroid toolbar on Rhino’s Standard Toolbars container? The plug-in is being installed as a Windows installer bundle.

The astroid toolbar is shown in the plug-in’s help file that is online at astroid on Rhino.

Does this help? https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/rhinocommon/create-deploy-plugin-toolbar/

Thanks but yes, the RUI file is already installed with the RHP. This doesn’t add it to the Standard Toolbars container so the expectation is that some API calls could be made to do this, it just hasn’t been easy figuring them out. Hopefully someone’s done this already.

Hi @jhilton,

I don’t believe there is any API to manipulate Rhino UI containers. @CallumSykes might have more information.
