User Interface
Modes
NVIDIA Omniverse™ View has two user selected modes which tailor the User Interface based upon the needs of the current task. The UI modes are named according to their use case.
Edit Mode
Edit mode allows users to edit a scene and manage the way the scene is presented. It grants access to a variety of scene manipulation functions, lighting, cameras and accompanying UI.
Review Mode
Review Mode allows users to review or present the scene and hides most of the editing features. The viewport is expanded and controls needed for review such as camera selection are retained.
