Window Menu
The Windows menu controls which panels are visible in the WSi workspace. Each panel can be shown, hidden, or repositioned by dragging its title bar.
Showing and hiding panels
Click Windows in the main menu bar to see a list of all available panels. A tick next to a panel name means it is currently visible. Click a panel name to toggle its visibility.
You can also show or hide panels by:
- Right-clicking a toolbar or a panel's title bar for a quick toggle menu with the same panels and toolbars as the Windows menu
- Double-clicking a panel's title bar to undock it into a floating window
Available Panels
| Panel | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Tree View | Hierarchical list of articles and work steps — the primary navigation panel |
| Details | Detailed breakdown of the selected article or work step — parameters, costs, comments |
| Cost Analysis | Project-level cost summary across all articles and work steps |
| Filter | Filter bar and graphical filter to narrow the project tree |
| Messages | System messages, warnings, and validation output |
| Console | Application log output for debugging and diagnostics |
| Graph View | Visual node-and-edge representation of the manufacturing process (requires Graph View to be enabled) |
| Assembly View | 3D assembly preview (requires 3D views to be enabled) |
| 3D Input | 3D view of the loaded input geometry (requires 3D views to be enabled) |
| 3D Output | 3D view of the generated output geometry (requires 3D views to be enabled) |
| 2D Output | 2D drawing output for the selected node (requires 2D views to be enabled) |
| 2D details | Extra 2D technical drawings and scene annotations for the selected node (requires 2D views to be enabled) |
Panels that require a feature licence (3D views, Graph View) are hidden unless that feature is active in your licence.
Default Layout
On first launch, WSi opens with a default panel arrangement: the Tree View docked on the left, with the Graph View split below it. On the right, the Console, Messages, Details, and Cost Analysis panels are tabbed together; when 3D or 2D views are enabled, the Assembly View and 3D/2D panels are tabbed together above them.
Resetting the Layout
If you have moved or hidden panels and want to restore the default layout, see Reset WSi. A full reset restores all panel positions and default visibility settings.
TIP
You can drag any panel's title bar to reposition it — dock it to a different side of the window, tab it with another panel, or float it as a free-standing window. WSi remembers the layout when you close the application.
