Let’s get to know the main interface of the Explorer module.

This article explains the different components of the screen, as numbered in the reference image below.

1 – View Method

This area contains all options for viewing and splitting the screen.

You can choose to display:

• Only the elements table
• Only the 3D model
• Only the 2D model
• Or combine multiple views (e.g., table + 3D or table + 3D + 2D), depending on your workflow.

2 – Ribbon

The ribbon menu contains the main tools of the Explorer module and is organized into sections:

• Structure – Core Explorer functionalities
• Navigate – Visualization and navigation controls
• Quick Reports – Data export and reporting tools
• Integrations – Excel export/import and synchronization options.

3 – Search

The search bar allows you to quickly find:

• Specific elements
• Or values within the Explorer table

This is especially useful when working with large or complex models.

4 – Elements Table

The elements table displays all model elements organized hierarchically as specified in the Group By tool.

5 – 3D Viewer

The 3D Viewer allows you to:

• Navigate the federated model
• Take measurements
• Create sections and isolate elements

All navigation tools are available in the viewer toolbar.

6 – 2D Viewer

The 2D Viewer enables navigation and measurement in 2D views.

It supports floor plans and sheets generated from models, but does not apply to PDF files.

7 – Model Management Bar

The right-side toolbar provides access to:

• Models Management
• Filters
• Properties
• Go to Room

This bar centralizes model control and analysis tools.

Now that you are familiar with the Explorer interface, you’re ready to start exploring its features and workflows in detail.
