User Interface Overview

Read this article to get a quick overview of the different interface elements of the Qonic application.

1. Contextual menu containing different tools, depending on your selection set and access rights.

2. Report panel: use this panel to generate reports of quantities and properties.

3. Browse Panel: use this panel to browse your model. Group and filter on location, IFC Class, IFC Properties and other attributes.

4. Restricted state of the model. Can be either:

   1. Read only: you only have viewing access to this model, or you have opened a public sharing key, or Qonic has automatically enabled read only mode to prevent a memory crash.

   2. Multi model: you have opened multiple models simultaneously. You can make changes across the currently opened models that you have modeling or data editing access rights to. Click the Multi Model button to pick the active model: this is the model that newly created geometry will be added to.

   3. Conflict solving: you are in a dedicated conflict solving mode because your previous changes conflict with the latest public version. Solve all conflicts before continuing to edit the model.

   4. Version Compare: you are currently comparing two versions of a single model. This is a read-only mode dedicated to displaying the differences between these two versions. To compare two versions of a model, go the the model version history dialog and select two versions by holding Ctrl.

   5. Nothing is displayed here: there are no restrictions, you can modify the model.

5. Command center: use this to launch a tool or search on property or attribute.

6. Saving state of the currently active model, including a publish button which closes the application and takes you to the model version history, where you can choose to publish or discard you changes.

7. Notifications button.

8. Options button to return back to the dashboard, open the help page, open the Tips panel or enable Snapping settings.

9. Inspect Panel: use this panel to inspect the attributes, properties and relations of one or more parts.

10. Libraries Panel: use this panel to manage and get an overview of your library items in the currently opened model(s).

11. Navigator: use this to activate section planes, hide or isolate entities and undo/redo actions. The home button in the middle of the navigator will clear your current selection, clear all section planes, reset the scope and zoom in/out to the extents of the model.

12. Help Center: contains actions like sending a message to the Qonic team, reporting an issue, booking a demo, or visiting external links like the help center or community.
