Lost Tool Box

Anonymous

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum and found you through Google.

I'm using Archicad 8 and I seem to have lost my Tool Box. I've tried everything that came to my mind without luck (of course, that's why I'm here crying for help).

I guess my last resource is to restore my preferences back to the default settings, but I can't seem to find out how.

Thanks in advance for your help !

Go to WINDOWS menu > PALETTES and turn on the toolbox.
That should do it.

Thanks Barry,

I had tried that like 100 times before going crazy and Googling for this forum...

I'm afraid I may have dragged the bar out of the desktop space or that my installation got corrupted (I'm on V8.0).

That's why I thought reseting my preferences would get the bar back to its default position but I haven't been able to figure out how to do so. A last try before reinstalling...

Any ideas ?

Thanks again !

While pressing Alt (Windows) or Opt (Mac) go to File -> New, it should say now "New and Reset" that will fix your preferences.

Thanks Eduardo,

Sorry for the late response. I did as you said and everything went fine.

I solved the problem just after you posted, but I had forgotten to post back to thank you.

Regards !
