Workspace
=========
For general informations about the Blender user interface see the respective
`Blender handbook section <https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/interface/index.html>`__.
After installation of BlenderBIM the default Blender start-up screen looks different from the standard Blender interface.
BlenderBIM adds a new `BIM` **Workspace** to the interface and by default activates this workspace on start-up.
It also modifies the layout of views and sidebars and adds custom functionality to the toolbar.
The left **Outliner** panel shows a tree of geometric objects. The centre main **Viewport** panel shows 3D geometry.
The right **Properties** panel shows data and relationships.
