Custom Max Toolbar

Hi guys,

I’m trying to setup a custom toolbar in max that I can then deploy to the rest of the team.

I’ve got the toolbar setup easily enough but I’m struggling to find out how I can save out just the toolbar. Because everyone has their own way of working in max and customise their UI accordingly; I want them to be able to load this 1 toolbar into their own setup.

Any ideas? Cheers.

You might have to write a maxscript that creates the toolbar when max starts.
AFAIK you cannot just save a single toolbar.
I believe they are all slapped together in one .CUI file (or some UI file anyway)

You ‘could’ insert your toolbar into the .CUI file too.
Just a little more ugly imo :slight_smile:

You can create a toolbar in Visual Basic (you can download the express edition for this purpose) and use a script I’ve wrote to load VB Forms. Deploy the VB Form .designer file in a network path available to all users and create a script to load it at startup, this way you can even change the toolbar and it will be updated automaticly for everyone. But this is just a thought :smiley:
