Saving Custom UI Layout.. Keeps re-arranging. Rhino 7

Hi,

Rhino 7 - I customized my UI a bit and every time i load up Rhino it keeps slightly re organizing the panels…? Any help on making that not happen?

Hello - do you have one, or more than one RUI file open? It looks like one to me but just making sure (Options > Toolbar page)
And, are you using a single monitor or multiple displays? Here, arranging things as in your image sticks between sessions so far.

@whitie925 , can you provide the exact Windows build information from Windows’ System Information?

Hi Pascal,

Many thanks for the helpful info. I wasn’t aware that you could have more that one rui open…? What would be the point of that?

I did notice that when rhino opens… if i select a template then things open fine with panels in the correct position… if i let rhino open the default template on its own, it re arranges the panels… Is this odd?

Yes. Thanks for that detail.
@whitie925 - are you selecting a template from the splash, when it works right? And, if you open Rhino without selecting a template, is it opening with a default template that you’ve previously set,

or truly no template at all?

Hey @pascal - Reviving this b/c I’m running into same problem, with toolbars not sticking where they should, after many a month of them being fine. They do go back to the “same wrong” position, which is like my computer sticking its tongue out at me :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Recent changes:

  • Downloaded RH8 WIP, and created starting window setup (which opens the correct way)
  • Docked some SubD toolbars
  • Created new toolbar with couple new buttons, etc.
  • Updated to newest RH7 Release

I believe I do have multiple RUI’s going on here, but truthfully, I’e always been a bit confused by the toolbars, groups, rui, etc. And I do have two monitors going, and two GPUs (though one is RTX2070 and one is RTX3060) with one monitor in Portrait mode. This is not new, though.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Was able to basically start from scratch (closing a bunch of the toolbars in the Options window) and then reopened one by one. Seems to be working ok now. Think it’s maybe some unique quirk?

Hi Alan - can you post a screen shot of Options > Toolbars?

-Pascal

I cleaned it up, which I think helped the situation.
Plus I had a couple RUIs from a different location on my computer, which I brought into the default folder location - could that have effected it?

Here’s what I have now, though.

Hi Alan - what might help is to

  1. Save default as default_alan.rui ort something like that.
  2. Import the toolbars you need from the other three rui files into that saved-as file.
  3. Close the other three.

-Pascal

THanks, I’ll try that.

Follow-up (and apologies if this is a sep topic):

I have a “Pop-Up” toolbar I made, but it’s in a diff Toolbar (Group?) How would I go about getting just that grouping (small-g) into my default_Alan.rui?

EDIT: Do I make #2 happen from the Workspace Editor, or from the Toolbar Option window?

EDIT: Ah, hate when I figure something out after asking! – For others, here’s what I learned:

  1. From the Options>Toolbars window, Highlight the new default_Name
  2. Got to File > Import Toolbars…
  3. A window will appear asking “Select groups to import:” and you’ll get a bunch of checkboxes below it to choose from (incl a “Check All” button below)
  4. The selected Imported Toolbars (including the selected Groups) will pop up on the screen. (This is part I didn’t know about)
  5. Swap the Old Toolbars you have on the Rhino interface with these newly Imported Toolbars.
  6. In Options>Toolbars window, Close all the other toolbars except for “default_Name”

Hope my being a dumb-dumb about this ends up helping someone else :grinning:
