Palettes

User interface

The palettes are important controls of Allplan. They provide a clear user interface, which is easy to use.

The following palettes are available:

• Modules palette to quickly switch between modules.
• Tools palette to quickly activate tools.
• Properties palette to modify the properties of elements.
• Wizards palette to select and manage wizards.
• Library palette to select and manage symbols, smart symbols and SmartParts.
• Objects palette to quickly check your design by showing or hiding elements or element groups.
• Connect palette to directly access content provided by Allplan Connect.
• Layers palette to keep sight of the layer status and to quickly change it.

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

In addition, you can arrange the palette window or individual, free-floating palettes around the edge of the working area 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.
