Palettes

User interface

The pallets are an important operating element of Allplan. Their user interfaces are not only clear and consistent but also easy to understand and use.

The following palettes are available in each configuration:

• Properties palette: To modify the properties of elements.
• Wizards palette: To select and manage wizards.
• Library palette: To select and manage symbols, smart symbols, SmartParts, and PythonParts.
• Objects palette: To quickly check your design by showing or hiding elements or element groups or by making them transparent.
• Planes palette: To check and edit the plane models of the current building structure.
• Issue Manager palette: To be able to view and edit the issues of the projects handled via Bimplus directly in Allplan.
• Connect palette: To directly access content on Allplan Connect.
• Layers palette: To keep sight of the layer status and to quickly change it.
• TIM Topic Board palette: To access TIM content directly from Allplan.

If the configuration you use is not the Actionbar configuration, the following two palettes are also available:

• Modules palette: To quickly switch between task areas.
• Tools palette: To quickly select tools.

By default, Allplan displays the palettes as tabs in a separate window - the palette window. But you can individually float or dock each palette.

In addition, you can arrange the palette window or individual, free-floating palettes around the edge of the workspace or make them float anywhere on your screen. You can even configure Allplan to automatically show or hide the palette window or palettes arranged around the edge.
