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. Browse Panel: use this panel to browse your model. Group and filter on location, IFC Class, IFC Properties and other attributes.
3. 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. If you want to make changes to one of the models you need to manually specify which model is the active model by clicking this button. All other models will not be editable until you make them the active model.
   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. Nothing is displayed here: there are no restrictions, you can modify the model.
4. Command center: use this to launch a tool or search on property or attribute.
5. Saving state of the currently active model. 
6. Publish button: closes the application and takes you to the model version history, where you can choose to publish or discard you changes.
7. Options button to return back to the dashboard, open the help page, open the Tips panel or enable Snapping settings.
8. Inspect Panel: use this panel to inspect the attributes, properties and relations of one or more parts.
9. Codifications Panel: use this panel to get an overview of all codified objects in the model and their quantities.
10. 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.
