Overview of Main GUI Elements

The LiquidEarth graphical user interface (GUI) keeps the main controls accessible while leaving as much room as possible for the 3D Workspace. The Explorer and Inspector can be collapsed into compact Quickbars when they are not needed. Their panel widths are saved separately on each device.

The primary GUI elements are:

• Top Bar
• Quickbars
• Explorer
• Inspector

The Top Bar

The Top Bar remains visible above the 3D Workspace and provides status information, navigation, collaboration controls, help, and settings.

• User & Network Connectivity

  • View the signed-in user and network connection status. Use this panel to log out or open the LiquidEarth Web Portal.

• Breadcrumb Trail

  • Shows the color-coded hierarchy of the selected item. Select an entry in the trail to switch to that Space, Content Group, Content element, or Block.

Quickbars
