Components of the Virtual Environment

 
The “Common User Interface” consists of the following components:
 
Pull-down Menu Bar
The titles on this menu bar change depending on the application that you are using at the time
 
Model Browser
 
The main function of the model browser is that it allows you to organise your model for a faster work flow. 
 
The model bodies will be automatically grouped by body type (Model/Adjacent Buildings/Local shade/etc.) for easier navigation.  The number of bodies in each body type group will be shown in brackets.
 
Application Selector
This area of the screen allows you to select the required application within the Virtual Environment
 
Navigator selector
This area of the screen allows you to select a navigator which will guide you through a particular area of the modelling/simulation workflow.
