nice! still valid 6 years later. I had to adapt some things here and there since I'm using ArcPro, but the video was still helpful. Thanks!

These videos are great! All the previous ones made lots of sense now that you showed how to build the "fancy looking" toolbox. Thanks a lot! It has been really helpful :)
