You can customize your workspace in Kanzi Studio: you can open new tool windows, rearrange, and close them as the work in your project shifts from one stage to the next.
If you prefer a specific workspace layout for certain tasks or project stages, you can create and save all such layouts and then load them when you need a specific workspace layout. See Saving your workspace layout.
Opening windows
To open a new window select Window and from the menu select the window you need:
Project shows the structure of your projects. This is where you create and organize the content, and manage your projects. See Projects.
Library shows project resources such as meshes, animations, materials, textures, components, trajectories. You can also open a window showing each of resources in a separate window. See Resources.
Properties shows object properties. This is where you modify and add object properties to change the way they look and behave. See Editing content.
Application Window and Preview show in real time what the project you are working on looks like. This is where you can move and arrange some objects. See Previewing content.
Log shows the status of your project such as messages triggered in your project, but also warning and error messages. See Viewing log messages.
