Layout and Panes

The system screen can display many windows, some of which are made up of

multiple panes, divided by splitters. A window can contain up to four panes. Each

pane houses a functional component of the Desigo CC system (for example, a

browser for navigating and selecting system objects, a viewer for displaying site

floor plans, tools for inspecting the properties of objects, and so on).
