# User Interface

**User interface**

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 [Multiview](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-multiview) 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](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-objectexplorer).
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](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-cutcopypastec).
4. The toolbars:
  1. Measurements: read [Measurement Toolbar](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-measurementtoolbarc)
  2. Camera: read [Navigation and selection toolbar](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-3dscene)
  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:

| ![Expand.svg](https://cdn.document360.io/820e11db-8ed5-45ae-ac86-f6b77dcb2aa7/Images/Documentation/Expand.svg) | 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 |
