# What’s there in the Editor's main canvas?

All the essentials you need to begin your parametric-modelling journey with the BeeGraphy Editor. Get familiar with your workspace environment including the key tools, panels, and features you’ll use as you start building your first models.

## Editor’s Main Canvas

The **workspace** in BeeGraphy is divided into distinct sections for smooth and efficient modeling. On the **upper left**, you’ll find the main **tool panel**. On the **right**, tools related to the **user sharing**. The **lower left corner** contains controls related to the **Editor’s functions** and the **scale adjustment button**.

The **3D Output Window** displays the result of your model based on the nodes you’ve used in the workspace. You can move it to either side of the screen and scale it to any size you prefer. You can also **pop it out** into a separate floating window by clicking the pop-out icon in the top-right corner. When popped out, it stays **always on top**, making it easier to view your model while you work.

The **central workspace** is where the core modeling happens here, you’ll build and connect nodes to create dynamic 3D parametric designs.

The workspace also provides several management tools to help organize, navigate, and control your modeling environment efficiently.

## MAIN MENU

The **Main Menu** provides quick access to essential workspace actions and tools. It allows you to navigate between views, manage your model, export files, and control sharing or publishing all from one place.
