Welcome back. In this module we'll explore the layout mode interface in the paragon Design app. Highlighting essential tools and navigation areas that support component layout workflows. Along the left side, you'll find the left sidebar for options to filter between linked and unlinked components. Search for specific items, and get a visual overview of all components in the project.
The component name represents the analysis status. Blue means a component hasn't been analyzed. Green indicates that a component has been analyzed and passes checks, while red represents a component that has been analyzed but fails, one or more checks. The right sidebar helps you navigate your selections and view the collection of objects in the layout.
It also allows you to view and adjust the properties of individual components. The layout options toolbar provides tools to control how items are displayed within the scene. You can toggle between 2D and 3D views, reset the view or focus on selected items, additional tools, let you add and manage dimensions, show and hide roofs and roof planes, as well as adjust their visibility, and set the render mode to define object visibility, and appearance within the scene.
The actions toolbar includes create and download options. You can create new components also accessible via the right click menu, or use the download feature to generate a variety of output files. That wraps up our overview of the Paragon layout mode interface. Understanding the interface is key to effectively creating and working with 3D layouts in layout mode.
Thanks for watching.
