The 3DViewStation UI is divided into the following areas (here with the tool Bill of material (BOM) enabled):
| Section | Description | 
|---|---|
| Output Area | The output area displays information about the loading process of models, for example. | 
| Function Area | Here you will find all operating functions of the 3DViewStation grouped on topic-related tabs. | 
| There are three sub-panes available in the info area: ▪Properties: Displays context related properties for the currently selected objects and options to edit these. ▪Settings: Contains all configuration parameters of the 3DViewStation, sorted by profile, import, export and program settings ▪Licensing: Displays licensing information and offers the option for activation via an activation key, and a license checkout option for specific time periods in case of network licenses (see chapter Installation and Licensing). | |
| Model Area | This main area displays the 3D geometry data of the actual loaded model (part or assembly). | 
| Quick Access Toolbar | Among other things, this bar offers quick access to selected functions. The function selection can be adjusted via the last icon on the right (see chapter Quick Access Toolbar). | 
| Inside point structure of the loaded model is displayed in this area. The current model area can be saved and restored in the view pane (see chapter Views). | |
| This area displays function specific sub-panes (e.g. for measuring or cutting). | |
| Helpful information is displayed in the lower part of the relevant sub pane whenever you click menu items or some of the buttons. |
