How add a button in the Fusion 360 "navigation toolbar"
Here is my full Add-In code for reference. Please note to create Add-In instead of Script.
I have a model with user parameter which I could increase and decrease by 5 mm. Then if I change HeightQ paramter manually, then I have button to refresh certain sketch with text to have the dimension in it. For example parameter value is 15 mm, then sketch will have text in it "15 mm".

Screenshot what kind of parameter model I have to update height and text on top surface of it.

Also 16x16-normal.png files is also extra and they are not... Well.. After quick double check. They are used in dropdown toolbar apparently. So those I need to update for better look:
