Command panel
A command panel offers intermediate user interaction when executing a command. The advantage of a panel compared to a dialog box is that the content of the drawing remains visible, instead of being partially blocked.
The following commands use a command panel:
- BLOCKIFY (Find Collections option)
- FITLINE
- FITARC
- OPTIMIZE
- BIMIFY
- BIMDIMENSION
- BIMINVERTSPACES
- BIMQUICKBUILDING
- NUMBER
- POINTCLOUDPROJECTSECTION
- POINTCLOUDFITPLANAR
- POINTCLOUDDEVIATION
The content of a command panel depends on the active command. It can be categorized into three domains:
- Necessary steps, e.g.:
- Entity selection.
- (Base) point selection.
- Naming.
- Choosing alternatives.
- Settings, e.g.:
- On/off options.
- Default values.
- Tolerances.
- Command progress, e.g.:
- Number of handled elements vs. total number of elements to process.
- Progress meter.
The command panel opens when the command starts and closes when the command ends.
