​
Home

The Home page is the first view when loading into Davinci. Here you can select or create projects. The cloud icon on the top indicates connection status with the server. The top right is your user icon, clicking this will load your account page.
Before selecting a project, only the home tab is viewable on the far left pane.
The project list is divided into two tabs. The first tab is Owned which holds all of your owned projects. The second tab is Shared which are all other projects that you are a collaborator with.
To add collaborators or rename a project you must load in the project first and then select the project tab.

​
Model

Once a project is loaded you can access the model tab which is the main workspace where you can create, view, and edit the model.
The user focus is indicated by the purple highlight at the top. Actions like undo and redo will work in the content of the focus region and/or focus object when selecting specific objects in the workspace.

​
Index

The index holds the list of all objects in the project. The two index tabs can be expanded or contracted to navigate the index. To add objects, rename, copy, and other similar functions simply right click the index for an action popout menu. To move objects simply click and drag around the index.
The LIBRARY index tab is used to organize project reference information.
Some object types can not be children of other types, which will prevent drop or movement.
If objects are locked they can not be moved or edited.
Dragging files into the window can be dropped into package objects in the workspace.

​
Workspace

The workspace is the area to view and edit objects directly. Clicking on objects in the index will open them as tabs inside the workspace. The workspace can be split into panes by dragging the object workspace tab to the left or right of the workspace area.
Only a single object can be opened in the workspace at a time.
Each open object in the workspace will have its focus indicated by the purple highlight. Inside the selected workspace tab is a side panel which allows you to select the view types. Each view will show the object (and its content) in different ways or provide editing options. In the bottom of the side panel is the download button which allows you to export the render or data of the view.
Exports are an early feature and still have limitations.

​
Chat

The chat region is where you can interact with the Davinci design agent. Simply type into the chat box any instructions and the design agent will build a plan and execute that as a series of tasks. To clear the chat history use the delete button (trash icon). Files can also be selected by clicking on the upload icon (paperclip).
Highlighted names with icons next to them can be double clicked to open in the workspace.
At the top of the window is a search box, clicking on this will open up a search menu. Clicking on search results will open them up in the main tab.
You can always ask Davinci in the chat to find objects for you.

​
Project

The project view is accessed from the left most pane in the window. Like the model view this is only active when a project has been selected. In this view you can see the project summary, see collaborators, review snapshots, update custom units, or remove files stored in your project.
The project name can only be edited from the project summary.
