This section provides access to all RealFlow windows. Please keep in mind that some windows are so-called modal windows. As long as a modal window is open you cannot access the underlying elements of RealFlow's user interface. Here are the entries:

Entries Without Submenus

Save Layout

With RealFlow you can create your own layouts and interface arrangements and save them to a default folder, specified under Preferences.

Load Layout

To load a layout from any folder, choose this entry. This is normally used, when there are no entries listed under “Apply Layout”.

Clean Layout

Cleaning a layout means that all menus and panels will be removed and the viewports expanded, filling almost the entire screen. The only remaining elements are the icon bars, the timeline and the timeline control. To switch back, go to “Apply Layout” and select a configuration.

Clear Messages

If you want to get rid of previous notifications in the "Messages" window, you can call this function. The window becomes cleared, but the associated "log.txt" file is not concerned in the action. You still have the complete message history stored there, unless you quit and restart RealFlow.

"Apply Layout" Submenu

Here you can find a list with all available layouts under RealFlow’s default folder. “Default” resets everything to the initial layout. This configuration is also specified under "Preferences".

RealFlow's GUI Main Elements

The following entries launch independent windows for specific RealFlow features, e.g. editors, preview or animation. All these elements can be attached to your current layout and saved. “Independent” means that RealFlow opens a floating window that is not integrated into your current user interface. If you open an already displayed window, it will be detached from the user interface and shown separately as a floating window. The empty space will be replaced with another window. The feature set of the independent windows are explained individually, because they all offer a wide spectrum of different functions and options.
