The ScaffPlan Toolbar is a Contextual Toolbar that appears when specific ScaffPlan Tools are selected or active in the model. It provides quick access to additional functionality and helps streamline the modeling process by allowing easy access to commonly used options without opening separate dialogs. There are several variations of the Mini Toolbar depending on the ScaffPlan Tools and Items you are selecting
This Toolbar can be repositioned anywhere on the screen or pinned in place for convenience. It can also be hidden and re-enabled when needed.
The toolbar is enabled by default when ScaffPlan tools are active.
You can close or reopen it anytime using the ScaffPlan menu in the ribbon.

Toggles Snapping Points visibility on tool components. This helps achieve precise alignment when positioning or connecting scaffolding elements.
💡 Works especially well when combined with Thin Lines and Wireframe Visual Style, making snapping targets easier to identify.
Toggle Labels Visibility
Shows or hides Component Labels in the model. These labels typically include:
Component naming conventions (e.g., Start / End)
Bay end conventions (e.g., End1 / End2)
Close Toolbar
Closes the Toolbar.
Lock Toolbar Position
Locks the Toolbar in its current on-screen position to prevent accidental movement. Useful when working with multiple floating toolbars or a multi-monitor setup for consistent access.
