The Design tools

The rail is short on purpose. Everything you reach for constantly is one tap away, with no scrolling and no hunting — the toolset is deep, but the surface stays calm. What is behind each button is not short at all.

Every rail button is a family

Each button shows the tool you used last from its family, and a small corner mark means there are more inside. Long-press any button and its family fans out:

Tapping runs the tool shown; long-pressing picks a different one, which then becomes the button's face. So the rail slowly arranges itself around how you work.

Surface modelling — a different rail

Long-press the Design workspace tab to switch between Solid Modeling and Surface Modeling:

The rail changes with the mode, and so do the families inside the buttons that remain.

Gone entirely in Surface mode: Primitive, Hole, Fillet, Shell, Combine, Joinery.

New in Surface mode:

Rail button	The family behind it
Stitch	Stitch · Unstitch · Trim · Reverse Normal · Offset Surface · Extend

Changed inside:

Rail button	In Solid mode	In Surface mode
Create	Extrude · Revolve · Sweep · Loft · Rib · Web · Emboss · Boundary Fill	Extrude · Revolve · Sweep · Loft · Thicken · Patch · Ruled · Boundary Fill
Modify	all nine	Offset Face · Scale · Delete · Align

Unchanged in both: Pattern, Assembly, Plane, Axis, Point, Analyze.

Surfaces are how you build shapes solids cannot state directly — a flowing guitar top, a swept transition, a blended corner. Stitch sews surfaces into a closed skin, and Thicken (in Create) turns that skin into a solid you can machine.

Sketching — the 2D toolset

Sketching has its own toolset, and it is the largest of the three. The same long-press-for-family rule applies throughout.

Tool	The family behind it
Line	Line · Midpoint Line · Line Between Points
Rectangle	2-Point · 3-Point · Center Rectangle
Circle	Center Diameter · 2-Point · 3-Point · 2-Tangent · 3-Tangent
Arc	3-Point · Center Point · Tangent Arc
Polygon	Circumscribed · Inscribed · Edge Polygon
Slot	Center-to-Center · Overall · Center Point · Slot Along Path
Spline	Fit Point Spline · Control Point Spline
Text	Text · Text on Path
Modify	Fillet · Chamfer · Trim · Extend · Break · Offset · Move/Copy · Mirror · Circular Pattern · Rectangular Pattern
Insert	Canvas · DXF · SVG · PDF · Scale
Constrain	Dimension · Distance · Coincident · Collinear · Concentric · Tangent · Smooth · Equal · Parallel · Perpendicular · Horizontal · Vertical · Symmetric · Midpoint · Fix/Lock
Projection	Project · Intersect

Bringing in artwork

Insert places existing artwork into a sketch as a canvas you can trace, dimension against, or project onto the model: DXF, SVG, PDF, or an image Canvas, plus Scale to size it against a known dimension.
