How do I import a Rhino 8 toolbar into Rhino 9? Ive been able to do this in every other version of Rhino until now. My toolbar RUI file shows in the options window but has no buttons when i select it like the default toolbar does.

@callum has been working on this to make it easier and I believe he’s close to releasing a workflow that will make this problem vanish for good. I’ll defer to let him expand on this as he’s able when the tools are ready to try.

In the WIP go to Windows > Containers > Manage Containers and see if you can import it from there.

This doesn’t work either. It recognises and imports the .rhc file but doesn’t carry over any buttons..

Oh yes !! Nice. Worked perfectly. I like the new appearance as well. Thank you :slight_smile: [image]

edit I am seeing some strange behaviour.. V8 [image] V9 [image] Clicking on the weird grey circles and I get a crash !! I didn’t add them.. they appeared after trying to add ‘softtransform’ to the menu.. edit : seems that some commands are ‘missing’ from the editor The first ‘grey circle’ r…
