Introduction

The combo view is one of the main panels in the FreeCAD interface. It is located on the left side of the screen by default. It is composed of two parts; the upper part can display two tabs for the Model and Tasks; the lower part shows the property editor, and also displays two tabs for View and Data properties.

Originally the tree view was separate from the property editor but then they were combined, and thus the "combo" view was created.

Upper section

The Model tab shows the tree view, which is a representation of the document's content, including 2D and 3D geometry with their parametric history, but also supporting objects that contain data saved in the document.

The Tasks tab shows the task panel, which will show different actions depending on the active workbench, and the active tool.

The upper part of the combo view has two tabs: the Model tab that shows the tree view, and the Tasks tab that shows the task panel.

Lower section

The View tab shows visualization properties of the objects, which only affect their appearance in the 3D view. The Data tab shows the parametric information of the objects, which determines how the geometrical shapes are defined.

The lower part of the combo view is the property editor, which shows View and Data properties.
