🧩 Advanced Customization Notes
-
Custom Tool Limitations:
- Some tools like Active LAS Layer/Filter Combos are not yet available in the customization dialog due to their complexity.
- Toolbars in 3-D and Profile Views are still based on older frameworks and cannot be customized yet. These will eventually be replaced with Immersive View-based versions.
-
Button Size and Layout:
- Currently, LP360 dynamically determines button size and caption placement. Customizing button size (e.g., making a “Save As” button large) is not yet supported.
-
Group Rearrangement Bug:
- Moving groups within the ribbon customization dialog may not work as expected. T
