Reference

Look up what something is and what it needs.

• The krad editor

  Visual tour of the editor's chrome — top bar, left rail, right dock, HUD pillbar, view controls. Each piece has its own page.

  • The HUD pillbar

    Floating mono strip at the bottom-center of the viewport — current mode, object count, snap state, cursor coords, FPS, and the units selector.

  • The left rail

    Primary tool palette along the left edge of the viewport. Categorized in baseline mode, swaps to sketch tools when sketching.

  • The right dock

    Right column of the editor — items panel (sketch + objects), history panel, and a properties inspector that pops up beside selections.

  • Keyboard shortcuts

    Every keyboard shortcut the editor recognizes — general, sketch mode, view, sketch tools — opened with the ? key.

  • The editor top bar

    Top floating chrome bar — project name + cloud save + export, share + fork, avatar / login. Two distinct clusters.

  • View controls

    Floating horizontal strip at the bottom-left of the canvas — undo / redo, zoom-to-fit, home view, clip plane toggle, perspective/ortho toggle.

• Export STL

  Download the current scene as a printable STL file.

• Generate 3D from image

  Convert a 2D image into a textured 3D mesh.

• Materials & textures

  Apply real-world materials (birch plywood, 6061 aluminum, walnut, …) to objects in the scene.

• Solidify hollow mesh

  Turn a hollow surface into a watertight solid.
