Task panel

Introduction

The Task panel appears in a stand-alone dockable panel called Tasks. It is a customizable space that is able to contain any type of graphical widgets like input fields, checkboxes, spinboxes, buttons, labels, images, and other elements, depending on the currently active tool.

Working with the Task panel

A Task panel normally opens when a tool that requires user input is activated. If the tool doesn't need user input, it will produce its result or terminate, but won't display a Task panel. The user input may be anything such as text, 3D point coordinates, or options to modify the way the tool operates.

There are many tools that require the selection of objects. In such cases the Task panel will wait for the user to select the appropriate objects from the Tree view. When a Task panel is open, it is possible to switch to the Tree view to choose an object. Once this is done, it is possible to switch back to the Task panel to proceed with the tool. The Task panel is usually closed by clicking an OK or a Close button, or pressing the Esc key to abort the tool.
