Viewer

The Viewer is the main interface that allows users to interact with the project session and 3D Visualization from the perspective of a stakeholder. It is rendered on top of the 3D Visualization and displays panels to inspect the Current Situation and Future Designed state of a project. It also contains panels that allow stakeholders to plan actions that will change the Planned situation.

To change the current situation of a project, users will have to user the Editor. The editor panels are added around the viewer interface, as shown in the image below.
