Interface Overview
UnigineEditor provides the core functionality for creation and editing of virtual worlds for UNIGINE-based applications. It allows you to easily view and modify virtual worlds by adding, transforming and editing the nodes.
The main window of the UnigineEditor is made up of tabbed windows which can be easily rearranged, grouped, detatched and docked.
You can customize UI layout to fit your preferences or a specific type of work.
The default layout (shown below) gives you access to the most commonly used windows.

The Toolbar provides access to the most frequently used working features. On the left side there are basic tools for selection and positioning of objects on the scene. Next you'll find frequently used helpers such as FPS counter, ViewCube, etc. And the last four elements enable you to control shader compilation, application logic, sound playback, and physics simulation. |
Viewports#
