The workspace can be divided into several parts: in the upper left part, there is a tool panel, in the right part, there are tools related to users. In the lower left corner are the tools related to the Editor’s work and the button to change the scale. The 3D view mirroring window can be placed in any of the 4 corners. The main workspace is where the entire process of building the model using nodes will be performed.


BeeGraphy Editor Overview

Workspace:


The workspace is designed for interacting with nodes, allowing the creation of 3D parametric models. It offers various functions for workspace management:


Scale Adjustment:


This feature enables users to adjust the scale using the mouse scroll button or the scale control button located in the left corner. Users can select the desired scale size. Additionally, the ’Zoom to Fit’ button zooms to a position where all nodes are visible.


There are several hotkeys for zoom control:


  • ’Shift’ + ’0’ scales to 100% size.
  • ’Shift’ + ’1’ performs Zoom to Fit and shows all nodes.
  • ’Shift’ + ’+’ increases the scale.
  • ’Shift’ + ’-’ zooms out.
