## Detailed Descriptions

### Flow360 logo

*Quick access to return to the Flow360 Dashboard, maintaining efficient workflow navigation.*

### Project tree

*Hierarchical organization of project components, providing structured access to simulation elements.*

- Expandable/collapsible structure
- Visual status indicators
- Direct component access
- See [Project tree](../05.project-tree.md) for more details

### More

*Additional project management options accessible via a three-dot menu.*

- Import/Export simulation settings
- Import/Export viewpoints

### View only

*Notification that the project is currently being viewed in view-only mode.*

- Simulation parameters cannot be changed in this mode
- To exit, click on New run or select a component from the project tree

### Assets

![assets](./Figures/assets.svg) *Central repository for project-related resources and files.*

- Information about each asset
- Downloadable files list for each asset

### Resource

![resource](./Figures/resource_icon.svg) *Import geometry resources and sample surfaces.*

- **Geometry resource**: Import additional geometry files (GeometryAI only)
- **Sample surface**: Import sample surface data


### Probe

![probe](./Figures/probe-icon.svg) *Show location of entered coordinates or show coordinates of a clicked location.*

- Enter coordinates to highlight a location in the viewer
- Click on geometry to display coordinates of that point

### Measure

*Measure the distance between two points in the viewer.*

Click the ![measure](./Figures/measure.png) icon to open the **Measure** panel, then pick two points in the viewer. Each point is placed where you click on the surface shown in the viewer (geometry, mesh, results or a slice), as with **Probe**. On geometry, this is the displayed tessellation of the CAD, so on curved faces the point can lie slightly off the exact surface. Points are not moved to the nearest mesh node or edge.

- **First point** and **Second point:** the location of each picked point and the name of the entity it lies on
- **Distance:** the total distance between the two points and its x, y and z components

Click **Exit** to close the tool.

### Help

![help](./Figures/help.svg) *Access to documentation, support resources, and guidance materials.*

### Project settings

![settings](./Figures/project_settings.svg) *Configuration interface for project-specific parameters. Includes run settings and project details.*

### Fork/New run

*Create an extension of a case based on current configuration.*
