GUI - Main Tools
The main tools have been developed for your convenience, to give you useful information about objects or particles and to accelerate your workflow. Most of these features are located under the “Tools” menu and some of them are also accessible through shelves. In contrast to RealFlow's main functions, the tools can not permanently be attached to RealFlow's layout and they have to be closed in order to execute the appropriate tool. As long as a tool window is open the underlying parts of the GUI cannot be accessed.
A special case are the “Mesh, Scale, LOD Tools”, because they are not part of the “Icon Bar” or the “Tools” menu, but can be found next to the “Simulation Control” panel. This group contains tools for meshing, creating animation keys, changing scene scale or triggering the “Job Manager”.
