Five standard layouts are available:

§ Normal

§ Maximize

§ Full Screen

§ Stereo

§ AR/VR

To select a standard layout:

§ On the View tab, in the Layout group, click one of the following layout options:

Layout Option	Description
Normal	TerraExplorer restored to normal size. If the layout was customized (See “Customized Layouts” below), then it is restored to the customized layout.
Maximize	TerraExplorer application maximized to entire screen. Docked panels set to auto-hide mode, and Ribbon minimized (See “Auto-Hide” in this chapter for more information).
Full Screen	3D Window maximized to entire screen, and Ribbon hidden (Alt + Enter).
Stereo	Side-by-side stereo view on any supporting displays (See “Viewing in Stereo” in this chapter for more information).
AR/VR	Two options are available: § Oculus Rift/Quest - TerraExplorer is compatible with the Oculus Rift S and Quest 2 virtual reality systems, which enable you to use slight, natural head movements to easily fly through the 3D world. § Axiom Holographic Table – TerraExplorer is compatible with Axiom’s holographic wall and table, for an immersive viewing experience. To activate the holographic table mode, contact Axiom Holographics for a full deployment kit. “

Note: In Normal or Maximize layout, the size of each of these panels can be adjusted by moving their borders.

To move a border:

§ Rest the cursor on the partition until it changes to a double-headed arrow, and then drag horizontally or vertically.

Viewing in Stereo

Stereo viewing provides added depth and realism to the 3D visualization. It uses a standard technique of rendering two images – one for the left eye and one for the right – side by side on the screen. Supporting displays (screens and projectors) use various methods to deliver the proper view to each eye, thus conveying true-to-life 3D depth perception.

To view in stereo mode:

§ On the View tab, in the Layout group, click Stereo.
