The main user interface is divided into four main areas:

  1. The 3D scene to display and interact with 3D objects. This view can be split in several views thanks to the Viewport capabilities.

  2. The tree (or explorer): to see and interact with the objects (clouds, meshes, polylines, etc.) which are in the current project. Read Tree view.

  3. 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.

  4. The toolbars:

    1. Measurements: read Measurement toolbar

    2. Camera: read Navigation and selection

    3. Coordinates systems: read 3DScene
