The Project panel

The Project panel is the hub of working in Carveco.

The Project panel:

  • is docked and pinned.
  • is divided into two areas by a splitter bar.
  • contains the Project Tree, which maps the structure of your Carveco projects and models.
  • provides access to a collection of context tools and menus.

The layout of the Project panel is controlled by its splitter bar, which separates the Project Tree and its context tools:

The area above the splitter bar contains the Project Tree, while the area below displays all context tools and information associated with the currently selected item in the Project Tree. The name of the currently selected item in the Project Tree is displayed on the splitter bar.

To control what is shown on the Project panel, click:

  •  To display the context tools and information associated with the currently selected item in the Project Tree.
  •  To maximise the area below the splitter bar, and hide the Project Tree.
  •  To maximise the area above the splitter bar, and hide the context tools and information associated with the currently selected item in the Project Tree.
  • To return the splitter bar to its previous position.

The layout of the Project Tree depends on whether a Carveco project or an independent Carveco model is created.
