User interface
User interface
The main user interface is divided into four main areas:
The 3D scene to display and interact with 3D objects. This view can be split in several views thanks to the Viewport capabilities.
The tree (or explorer): to see and interact with the objects (clouds, meshes, polylines, etc.) which are in the current project. Read Tree view.
The ribbon with all the menus and all the commands. Commands are highlighted according to the current selection. For example, you need to select an object to run the commands Cut/Copy/paste.
The toolbars:
Measurements: read Measurement toolbar
Camera: read Navigation and selection
Coordinates systems: read 3DScene
Commands

Only one project can be opened at the same time by Cyclone 3DR.
Nevertheless, it is possible to open several Cyclone 3DR on the same computer with a single license. Note your computer might lack of memory with large files.
