“Main Street” is the default interface style and consists of large icons and text. If a pane group is already docked in a docking area, you can add other panes to that group by dragging the pane by its tab and dropping it next to the tab of the pane you wish to group it with. To dock a group, move it toward the edge of the “Main Window.” A highlight will appear on that side of the interface to indicate the “Docking Area” that the group will be placed in. Pane groups can be docked on the left, right, top or bottom of the viewport. A four-way arrow indicates positioning and will be displayed when your cursor is over the bar at the top of the group. A two-way arrow indicates resizing and will be displayed when your cursor is over the outer-most edge. The cursor will change to indicate whether you will resize or move that group. If you drag the pane towards the center of the viewport, it will become a free floating “Pane Group.” You can then move or resize the group by left clicking and dragging. You can then drag the pane anywhere on your screen. To move a “Pane”, simply left click and hold while the cursor is over the tab that is attached to the edge of that pane. The easiest way to customize the interface is to drag the various panes to where you would like them to be. Now that we've covered the interface layouts that ship with DAZ Studio, let's talk a little bit about how you can customize the interface to meet your needs. The “ Activity Layout” includes the “ Viewport”, panes, and toolbars for your current activity. The rest of the interface is referred to as the Activity Layout. The “ Activity Bar” contains “ Activity Tabs” that allow you to choose an “ Activity” such as 'Actors, Wardrobe & Props', 'Pose & Animate', 'Lights & Cameras', or 'Render.' These activities will be discussed in greater detail throughout this User Guide. Each “ Menu” contains “Submenus” and “ Actions”. The “ Main Menu Bar” contains common high level menus such as File, Edit, Help etc. The interface is divided into three main sections the Main Menu Bar, the Activity Bar, and the Activity Layout.
This allows you to put the “ Tools” and “ Actions” that you use most right at your fingertips. Users can dock “ Panes” and “ Toolbars” virtually anywhere they desire. The first thing you should be aware of is that the DAZ Studio interface is completely customizable. To accomplish this we decided to put the power in your hands.
One of the goals in designing the DAZ Studio interface was to make it as user-friendly as possible, without sacrificing functionality. Finding your way around a new interface can be difficult, frustrating and discouraging. Learning the ins and outs of any new software can be intimidating.
