Author User Interface

Definition

When you have activated SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Author, the user interface is displayed on your screen.

The user interface has the following component parts:

  • Menu Bar

  • File and Folder Explorer

  • Panels

  • File lists

  • Status bar

  • Animation controls

  • Toolbars

  • Viewport

  • Right-click context menus.

All components can be resized, moved, floated, docked, rearranged, and closed similar to the functionality in most Windows applications. For example, you can resize the File and Folder Explorer by dragging the bar’s edges, and you can drag files and folders within the Folders panel. Components are displayed as docked by default, and have a Windows-type interface. Some panels snap together, and produce a tabbed display for easy access.
