Ribbon Menu

Summary

The ribbon is a very common UI control on top of almost any modern desktop app

This control contains a Tab selector that provides easy navigation for quickly location of commands

Description

The ribbon has different layouts that you can choose among:

• Classic: Takes more screen room, but displays maximum information
• Simplified: Single-line for maximum workspace area below

Classic Ribbon Home Tab

Simplified Ribbon Home Tab

Be aware that not all commands are displayed for simplified layout; all the rest are collapsed into the right expander

You can quickly swap from one layout to another by selecting it on the drop-down button on the bottom-right of the ribbon control

It is also possible to show only the tabs, so the commands will be displayed inside a temporal pop-up, providing maximum workspace area:

Double-click on a tab header to toggle ribbon panel visibility

Each Tab contains all related commands to a same topic. In DASSIT™, Tabs are named according to the BIM dimension they are related to
