Design a prototype CAD GUI layout #5BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Kesha Shah, Daniel_RTags: graphic art, prototype, photoshop, interface, design

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.

Provide one or more mock-up images (png, pdf, psd, html, whatever)

Search for other similar GCI tasks (look at previous years too) to avoid making a similar design. You can use any tools, but your work must be original.

Would you please upload in a different compression format (e.g., zip or tar.gz)?  There seems to be some problem with the rar file or a problem unpacking it.
