# User Interface

When SpatialExplorer is initially launched, you will be greeted by a dialog window. This window will allow you to configure SpatialExplorer’s operational mode. SpatialExplorer can be used in offline mode or can be connected to a rover for real-time scanning.

The user interface in SpatialExplorer is divided into three sections: left, middle, right, and bottom. The left section is the Project window which displays the different types of layers available along with numerous tools. The main display area in this middle is where the LiDAR point-cloud data is visually generated. The right section displays numerous system parameters and options for configuring the main display area. The bottom section is a log window where messages/errors are presented to the user. Important messages and errors will be printed with a yellow or red background color, respectively. The various windows can be dragged to different areas of the screen or closed completely to maximize the main viewing area. They can be reopened by navigating to the Windows tab.
