Overview of Side panes

By default three side panes are docked to the right of the interface as shown below:
Note: Clicking the 'Auto Hide' icon in the top right corner of any other docked window will also reduce it to a side pane at the edge of the screen at which the window was docked. (Applies to: each of the Project Workspace windows; Properties Window; Process Window.)

1. Scene Content

The Scene Content sidebar on the right side of the screen is used to control the displayed content in the 2D and 3D Scene Views.

The sidebar contains:

  1. Entity categories (with check boxes)

    Some categories have arrow symbols to their side, indicating sub categories. Click the arrow symbol in order to see the sub categories.

    The checkbox controls whether the entity category and its associated information is displayed. You can check the entities that you want to display and clear the ones that you do not.

  2. Entity information controls

    Entity information controls list the information in each category that will be displayed. When clicked, they expand to lists that allow you to select the information you want to display in the model view.

2. Tekla Online side pane

The Tekla Online side pane is used to access Tekla Online services provided for users of Tekla Structural Designer, for example Tekla User Assistance and Tekla Discussion Forum.

3. Trimble Connect side pane

The Trimble Connect side pane is used to access the the Trimble Connect project collaboration tool.
