# Touch User Interface

The user interface of the Touch mode is divided in two workspaces:

- the **homepage,** the default workspace when opening the Touch mode,
- the **workflow workspace**, available when a workflow is in progress.

Main menu: - **Switch to Desktop**: to return to desktop user interface. - **Settings**: to edit touch settings. Global settings stay editable from desktop interface. - **Exit**: to close the software. 2. **New**: to start a new workflow. It opens Get Started page. 3. **Open**: to open a 3dr file which contains a workflow project. 4. **Recent projects**: a list of all the recent files. - A **tap** on a file opens the project and continue the workflow. > [!WARNING] > ##### Invalid Touch project > > If the file isn't a Touch compatible project or requires a missing license, an error message will be displayed and the application will go back to the homepage. - A **tap-and-hold** gesture on a file displays a context menu with the following options: - **Continue Touch workflow**: to opens the project and continue the workflow. - **Open folder**: to open the folder that contains the file. - **Remove from the list**: the corresponding file will not appear in recent projects list. |

The **top bar** > [!NOTE] > ##### Navigating through the ribbon > > - As steps are often linked to the previous ones, it may not be possible to directly jump to a further step from the ribbon. > - When switching to another step, the application will first try to validate the current one results if any. - **Main menu:** same options as Homepage. - **Workflow ribbon**: it represents the overall steps of the current workflow. Each steps acts as a button, allowing to easily switch back to other steps. 2. The **3D Scene** > [!NOTE] > The content of visibility toolbar depends on the type of workflow. 1. **Cameraand visibility toolbars**: - The camera toolbar represents the available camera modes to interact with the 3D scene (see [Navigation and selection toolbar](/v1/docs/cyclone-3dr-3dscene)). - The visibility toolbar gives access to the visibility of the workflow elements. 3. b**. Quick access toolbar**: it stores the different tools available all along the workflow such as limitbox edition, measurement, etc. > [!NOTE] > ##### Show/Hide the quick access toolbar > > A single tap in the 3D scene toggles the visibility of the toolbar. 4. c. **UCS selector**: to switch between existing user coordinate systems. 5. The **current step dialog** displays the UI of the current step of the workflow. - **Next** and **Previous** buttons allow navigating through the workflow. > [!NOTE] > **Next** and **Previous** buttons always validate the current step results. - The **Exit** button cancels the current step, closes the document and goes back to the **homepage**. |
