View and Window
View > Appearance controls Reference Axes, Navigation Cube, Orientation Axes, and Element Legend. View > Panels shows Explorer, Inspector, the Calculation Inspector, Console, Agent, or History. View > Explorer Columns controls Size and Last Modified. Home View remains directly under View.
Window > Float Active Tab presents the selected document in a floating window. The same command is available as Float into Window in a tab’s context menu. Tabs contain their label and Close control. Use Dock to Workspace on a floating titlebar to return a document to the center, or Window > Dock All Document Windows to restore several at once.
Pin and Minimize are under the titlebar’s Window options menu. The Window > Open windows list brings an existing window forward and restores minimized windows. Window > Float Explorer opens the optional floating Explorer.
Calculations
The Calculate menu and left calculation tools open task setup dialogs. The Calculation Inspector on the right owns calculation status, settings, and result controls. Calculation projects and their structures, trajectories, plots, and reports remain central workspace documents. Execution logs are in the bottom Console panel.
The standalone Calculation utility window has been retired. Opening an older workspace migrates a visible Calculation window into the inspector. Existing scripts using tako.ui.window('calculation', ...) address that inspector and preserve result documents; they never create another calculation renderer.
