# Start Designing in the BeeGraphy Editor

This guide introduces you to the workspace and its essential tools, helping you start designing.

## Welcome to the BeeGraphy Editor!

The BeeGraphy Editor is designed with a **user-friendly interface** that’s easy to understand and navigate. You can **pan and move the canvas in all directions**, adjust the **scale of your view**, and reposition the **3D mirror view window** to suit your workflow. This flexible setup allows you to work comfortably and efficiently while exploring your models from any angle.

Once you create your first model, you’ll see the **editor main canvas**, where all your design work takes place. If you want to familiarize yourself with the tools, check out the article linked below.

### What is a Node? How do I add a node from the Toolbar?

**Nodes** are the basic building blocks in BeeGraphy that perform a specific operation — like adding a point, manipulating geometry, adding vectors, inputs and so many more. You connect nodes with wires to pass information and build parametric models.

### How do I open the Node Chooser and search/add a node?

Choose nodes from the **top menu**, or simply **double-click** on the canvas and type the name of the node you want.

-   Choose nodes from the **top menu**, or simply **double-click** on the canvas and type the name of the node you want.
    
-   **Building your design:** Once you have a node, you can add more nodes to your canvas and start designing.
    
-   **Connecting nodes:** Draw wires from one node to another to create connections and form functional blocks.
    

**_Important:_** _You can only connect nodes that share the_ **_same data type_**_._
