UI Components#

  • The Section Tool Window serves as the main container, offering a dedicated interface where users can access all section-related features.

  • Embedded panels, such as the Options Panel and Quick Move Panel, provide controls for adjusting section settings like alignment, movement, and rotation.

  • An interactive Section Manipulator supports drag gestures and gizmo-based transformations, offering real-time visual feedback on section orientation and positioning.

  • A menu integration component ensures that the tool can be conveniently accessed through a designated menu entry (Tools/Section).

User Workflows#

  • Users launch the tool window via the Tools/Section menu and are presented with a clear UI for managing sectional views.

  • Within the window, interactive panels allow users to toggle section visibility, adjust transform properties, and align sections relative to the viewport.

  • The interface supports common operations such as resetting section parameters, saving section configurations, and quickly switching between different sectional modes.

  • Real-time updates and visual cues from the Section Manipulator help users fine-tune the section settings efficiently.

Configuration#

  • A key setting, “alwaysDisplay”, controls whether the section remains visible at all times or only when the tool window is open.

  • The “useSessionLayer” option dictates if section modifications are recorded in the session layer, allowing seamless state management.

  • Configuration options are accessible through the extension’s settings and integrated menu, enabling users to customize the tool’s behavior to match their workflow preferences.
