Window Menu

(Control Panel List). Allows you to change the control panel using standard Windows menu accelerator keystrokes.

No floating panels. The current active panel is docked on the left edge of the main application window.

Float One Panel. The active panel floats in a small carrier window and can be repositioned. If the active panel is changed, the carrier switches to the new panel. This may makes better use of your screen space, especially with larger images or multiple monitor configurations

Many Floating Panels. Each panel can be floated individually and simultaneously.

Clicking each panel’s button either makes it open, or if it is already open, closes it. Only one panel is the official active panel. Important note : mouse, display, and keyboard operations can depend on which panels are open, or which panel is active. These combinations may not make sense, or may interact in undesirable ways without warning. If in doubt, keep only a single panel open.

No Panel. Closes all open floating panels, or removes the fixed panel. Note that one panel is still active for control purposes, even though it is not visible. Useful to get the most display space, and minimize redraw time, when using SynthEyes for RAM playback.

Solver Locking. Launch the solver’s lock control dialog , used to constrain the camera path directly.

Stereo Locking. Same as the Stereo Geometry item . Brings up the Stereo Geometry control panel.

Path Filtering . Launch the solver's object path (and FOV) filtering dialog, which controls any post-solve filtering.

Advanced Lens Controls . Launch the Advanced Lens Control dialog, also accessed from the Lens panel.

Texture panel . Opens the texture extraction control panel .

Vertex Cache Control Panel . Opens the Vertex Cache Control panel for the selected mesh.

Screen Keying Control . Opens the green/blue/etc screen keying control panel.

Floating Constrained Points. Opens a new constrained points (axis control) view, showing coordinate setup information. If the "Only one floating (other)" preference (User Interface section) is on, this menu item will alternately open and close a single constrained points view.

Floating Graph editor. Opens a new graph editor. If the "Only one floating (other)" preference (User Interface section) is on, this menu item will alternately open and close a single graph editor.

Floating Hierarchy View. Click to open a new floating Hierarchy View . If the "Only one floating (other)" preference (User Interface section) is on, this menu item will alternately open and close a single Hierarchy View.

Floating Perspective. Click to open a new floating perspective window. If the "Only one floating camera, persp. view " preference (User Interface section) is on, this menu item will alternately open and close a single perspective view.

Floating SimulTrack . Click to open a new floating SimulTrack window. If the "Only one floating (other)" preference (User Interface section) is on, this menu item will alternately open and close a single SimulTrack view.

Synthia. Opens the Synthia instructible assistant, see Help/Synthia PDF.

Synthia Helpers. These menu items are also found on the right-click menu of the IA button, and are here mainly to make them usable with keyboard accelerators.

Listen. Enables speech recognition on Windows.

Talk. Allows Synthia to use speech synthesis.

Don't talk. Turns off speech synthesis.

Minimize Synthia. Sends Synthia down to the taskbar/dock.

Exit Synthia. Causes Synthia to stop running. Use Minimize in most cases, as starting and stopping Synthia is fairly intensive.

Show Time Bar. Turns the time-bar of the main window on or off, for example, if you are using a graph editor’s time bar on a second monitor, you can turn off the time bar on the main display.

Viewport Layout Manager . Starts the viewport layout manager , which allows you to change and add viewport configurations to match your working style and display system geometry.

Click-on/Click-off . Quick toggle for click-on/click-off ergonometric mode, see discussion in the Preferences panel.
