User Interface

This page provides information about the user interface of Enscape Envision.

Overview

Envision interface has two modes: Easy and Advanced. Both modes share the same layout – a menu bar, a toolbar, a bottom dock panel, and left- and right-hand side panels with several tabs providing access to a range of features for managing your project.

Easy mode reduces the number of visible controls for a simplified, faster, and more intuitive workspace, but doesn't include advanced customization options. Advanced mode exposes the full set of tools, controls, and parameters for greater flexibility. Switching between modes preserves all project data.

For foundational training on the interface, see Chaos Academy.
