Introduction

The main view area is the main widget that holds sub-windows in the interface. It is an instance of Qt's QMdiArea.

The main view area is denoted by the number 1, and can hold various window tabs, principally the start page and the 3D view.

Windows

The windows in the main view area can be organized with commands located in the Windows menu, like Std TileWindows and Std CascadeWindows.
