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 Multiview 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:
1. Measurements: read Measurement Toolbar
2. Camera: read Navigation and selection toolbar
3. Coordinates systems

Commands

The dialog boxes have been standardized so that they share common controls. By default, all dialog boxes will appear on the left part of the screen.

The dialog box may contain several items among the following:

	Undocks or floats the dialog box. When undocked, double click on the title bar or right click to dock the dialog at the original position (left part) or to access the other modes
	Displays advanced parameters (depending on the function). The icon becomes red when the dialog shows advanced parameters
	Reset the dialog box to default parameters
	Allows direct access to the help information for the current command
	To enable/disable current clipping planes on the temporary result
	Display keyboard shortcuts available for the current command
	to validate and exit the command
	to validate the current result and stay in the command
	to validate and exit the command (only when "OK, next" button is present)
	to exit the command without validating the computation
	to launch the compute to see the result without validating
	to undo the last action
	to redo the last undo
	to restore the previous state
	to create a measure with some information
	to edit the colors of the created gradient (see Edit Colors)
	to edit the classification (see Manual Classification)

Note

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.
