Overarching guidance for UI development.

Nav Bar

The nav bar lives on the left-hand side of the container, and is not collapsible.
The nav bar will house buttons for:

• Objects

• Settings

• Help

• Implement nav bar #9

Each button would open/collapse Panel#1

Panel#1

This first panel is chosen by the nav bar.
This panel can house things like the object list, settings, help guides.
It is not intended for contextual things like object properties or selections.
Should likely be resizable horizontally.

• Implement the object list panel #5

Panel#2

This panel is contextual based on actions from panel#1

Tools Bar

This bar houses tooling for interacting with the renderer.
Things like zoom controls, measuring, etc.

Status Bar

This bar houses information such as hovering info and status messages.
It should be able to popup over the canvas with additional information if clicked.
This is useful for reviewing log events.
