Display settings button/menu

ricardoavelino opened this issue · 2 comments

Currently our display settings button is quite overwhelming, with 5 additional options.

I suggest we slowly move this information to a "pop-up" box as in rv2, with at least 3 tabs. Two for form/force and one general settings tab. Here is the reference:

Here are some thoughts on what could be on it. We can use this issue as channel discussion.

I would also definitely take out the options "Move Form / Force diagrams" out of this button. For me it makes sense to create a button "Move" with options Form/ Force / Both.

yes, i agree (in principle, i haven't looked at your proposal). we should also provide a table with structural information rather than showing forces in labels. labels should be used as little as possible

can you maybe file another issue for the structural info tables?
