l Floating toolbars: Several additional toolbars are available as floating toolbars. You access them
by choosing Customize ➪ Show UI ➪ Show Floating Toolbars or by selecting them from the tool-
bar’s right-click pop-up menu.
l Quadmenus: Right-clicking the active viewport reveals a pop-up menu with up to four panes,
referred to as a quadmenu. Quadmenus offer context-sensitive commands based on the object or
location being clicked and provide one of the quickest ways to access commands.
l Caddy Settings: When modeling, you can open Caddy Settings. These sets of controls float above
the current selection and offer several settings that are immediately updated in the viewport.
