| + | Model details, scene settings and some dialogs of the Model Editor are presented in //panes//: | ||
| + | Small windows that can be docked to the borders of the parent frame, or be "floating" freely on the desktop. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you grad a pane by its title bar and drag it over the screen, a translucent highlight will indicate where the pane will dock when the left mouse button is released. | ||
| + | Press and hold the ''CTRL'' key before releasing the mouse button in order to prevent the pane from docking (it will remain floating instead). | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you closed a pane, use the appropriate item in the **View** menu to show it again at any time. | ||

| + | === Model Element Panes === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Most of the panes present model elements of a specific type: | ||
| + | * the skeleton (also called the joints hierarchy), | ||
| + | * meshes, | ||
| + | * skins, | ||
| + | * GUI fixtures, | ||
| + | * animations, | ||
| + | * channels, | ||
| + | * submodels, and | ||
| + | * level-of-detail models. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that for most model elements, there are //two// panes: | ||
| + | One that shows the list of all elements of this type, and one that shows the details of the currently selected elements. | ||
| + | For example, the "Skeleton" pane shows all the joints in the hierarchy, and double-clicking any of them brings up the "Joint Inspector" with the details of the selected joints. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the following pages, this manual has one chapter for each model element type, where each chapter explains the model element type and its related "list" and "inspector" panes. | ||
