The Graphical User<br />

Interface<br />

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is the part of<br />

Chem3D that you interact with to perform tasks.<br />

The GUI consists of a model window, menus,<br />

toolbars and dialog boxes. It can also include up to<br />

three optional panels that display Output and<br />

<strong>Com</strong>ments boxes, the Model Explorer and tables<br />

(Cartesian coordinates, Z-Matrix, and<br />

Measurement), and the ChemDraw Panel. At the<br />

bottom of the GUI is a Status bar which displays<br />

information about the active frame of your model<br />

and about hidden atoms in your model. The GUI is<br />

shown in Rotation mode with the dynamic<br />

Rotation bars showing, the ChemDraw panel open,<br />

and the Tables panel set to Auto-Hide.<br />
