User Interface Overview
Read this article to get a quick overview of the different interface elements of the Qonic application.
Model name or restricted state of the model. Can be either:
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.
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. Open the Browse panel to pick the active model: this is the model that newly created geometry will be added to.
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.
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, select one model version, click the Compare button and then select another model version.
Nothing is displayed here: there are no restrictions, you can modify the model.
