Quick Access Toolbar – Adding tools

The Quick Access Toolbar is always located at the top edge of the screen in cadvilla. It systematically offers you rapid access to frequently used functions. In this article, you will learn how you can add custom tools to this specific bar or securely remove them again, and what you must pay attention to during this process.

You easily adjust the Quick Access Toolbar (icon bar) via the right mouse button context menu. However, please note an technical particularity of cadvilla: For many tools, a right-click on the button directly opens the properties dialog. Therefore, the adding or removal process technically functioning only applies if no project is loaded.

Add or remove tools

  • First of all, close all open projects entirely in cadvilla. The buttons of the specific tools must actively be greyed out.
  • Next, click with the right mouse button on the desired tool that you intend to add or remove.
  • Please select Add to Quick Access Toolbar inside the context menu for adding.
  • Subsequently, to specifically remove a tool from the Quick Access Toolbar, click with the right mouse button on the desired tool in the toolbar and choose the option Remove from Quick Access Toolbar.

Important note regarding standard buttons

  • Never remove the buttons automatically generated by cadvilla for visibility controls (such as definitively Roof on / off or Ceiling on / off).
  • Principally, these local standard buttons cannot be restored through any normal procedure.
  • If you accidentally delete these buttons anyway, you must delete the file Userconfig.xml within your user directory. However, by doing this, you reset the entire user settings of cadvilla back to the state directly after installation.
