Window Management

VCollab Pro MX, while robust in its offerings, has specific constraints and features regarding viewport management.

Key Features

  1. Single-Viewport Support: - VCollab Pro MX does not support multiple viewports within the same application instance. Users can interact with only one viewport per open window.

  2. Active Window Interface: - The interface is designed to respond solely to the active window—the window currently in focus by user interaction, such as a click. Only this window will register and execute commands, while others remain passive until they are activated.

Synchronization Options for Camera Transformations

Despite these limitations, VCollab Pro MX includes features that allow synchronization of transformations across its windows:

  1. No Sync: - In this mode, each window operates independently without any automatic synchronization. This is suitable when individual control over each window’s view is necessary.

  2. Trackball: - Applies relative camera transformations (such as translations or axis-angle rotations) to all open windows uniformly. Users can expect consistent movement across windows whenever the trackball tool is utilized.

  3. Camera: - Aligns all windows with the absolute position and orientation of the active window’s camera, effectively cloning its view in every other window when adjusted.

Window Arrangement Capabilities

To enhance user experience and maintain a clean working environment, VCollab Pro MX offers several window management tools:

  1. Minimize All Windows: - This feature allows users to minimize all windows at once for efficient workspace decluttering or when temporarily shifting focus away from the application.

  2. Arrange Windows: - Automatically organizes open windows into rows and columns, providing a structured layout that enhances visibility and accessibility of different project views.

  3. Close All Windows: - Closes all active windows with an option for user confirmation to prevent accidental closure of unsaved work or important data.

These features ensure that while VCollab Pro MX operates within specific limitations regarding viewport support, it remains versatile in managing interactions across multiple application windows, enhancing both usability and productivity.
