I have used parametric CAD software Geomagic, Inventor and SolidWorks many years. There is the ribbon on the top. I think the UI of Moi3D is very intuitive and I like it. Could the Ribbon be on Moi3d the top in future?

Hi JML82, part of the UI design for MoI is to try and keep the viewports to have a high visibility, and that's why the UI is located on the bottom and side instead, it keeps the actual working area to be more prominent in the UI.

I don't currently have any plans to put the UI on the top by default, but it is possible to edit the UI currently to move the bottom toolbar to the top if you want.

You need to find the file named MainWindowLayout.xml in a text editor like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit.app on Mac.

You can find that file on Windows under C:\Program Files (x86)\MoI 3.0\ui - on Mac right-click the app icon and choose "Show package contents" and inside there go to drive_c/moi/ui

Inside the MainWindowLayout.xml file, find the line that has this:

	<UIPanel dock="bottom" src="moi://ui/CommandBar.htm"/>

and edit to have dock="top" instead, like this:

	<UIPanel dock="top" src="moi://ui/CommandBar.htm"/>

After you have edit that to say dock="top", the command bar which is normally on the bottom will be on the top instead.
