3D viewer general help
Upon loading a dataset (whether it is an online dataset or a local dataset), you will be sent to the interactive 3D viewer. There are a lot of tools and menus on the viewer, and in this section we will cover the basics.

| On the top of the window, there are buttons to open the different menus to interact with datasets. Some buttons for the menus are contextual, and will appear in specific conditions (for each menu, please refer to the corresponding page). The icon is a button that opens the lineage window, if there is a lineage/tracking property on the dataset. |
