Design a prototype CAD GUI layout (#2)

Design a prototype CAD GUI layout (#2)BRL-CAD

Status: ClosedTime to complete: 72 hrs Mentors: SeanTags: diagram, prototype, GUI, layout

BRL-CAD's usability is notoriously complex and "expert friendly". MGED and Archer are the main geometry editors, with drastically different user interfaces.

This task involves evaluating the features provided by MGED and Archer, then designing a new GUI layout that encompasses their features while improving usability. Rationale for design decisions and layout should be provided.
