-====== Toolbar ======
+====== Visual3D Toolbar ======
-The toolbar provides common buttons/tasks that can be done within Visual3D.
+In the Visual3D application, a toolbar is available on the top of the screen providing buttons which execute common tasks required by users. Depending on the tab that is currently open, (Workspace, Signals and Events, Models, Reports, etc.), more buttons can appear displaying common processes for the tab.
-Depending on the current tab (Workspace, Signals and Events, Models, Reports, etc.), the toolbar options will change.
+This page will provide a description of the buttons available on the toolbar in order for users to understand the functionality. Equivalent commands will also be included if working through the pipeline rather than the user interface.
 ==== Workspace Tab ====
-[[File:Buttons1_Arrow.JPG|{{/images/0/00/Buttons1_Arrow.JPG?627x122}}]]
+The workspace tab toolbar includes the main buttons to control the workspace, the following is displayed:
-=== New Workspace ===
+{{:visual3d:getting_started:workspacetab_buttons.png?900|}}
-Empties the current workspace and creates a new one.
+|**Toolbar Button**|**Functionality**|
-=== Open Files ===
+|New Workspace: \\ {{:visual3d:getting_started:new_workspace.png?30|}}|Empties current workspace and creates a new one. \\ Can also be selected to close files shown in the **Active File Combo Box**, an alternative method of closing files is to use the pipeline command called [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:File_Commands:File_Close|File_Close]]|
+|Open Files: \\ {{:visual3d:getting_started:open_files.png?30|}}|Opens movement files. \\ **NOTE**: Although default mask shows .c3d and .cmz files, this button can also open other file types such as ASCII files. The pipeline equivalent is the [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:file_commands:file_open|File_Open]] command.|
+|Save File: \\ {{:visual3d:getting_started:save_file.png?30|}}|Saves workspace as a .cmz file, works the same as [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:file_commands:file_save|File_Save]]|
+|Print: \\ {{:visual3d:getting_started:print.png?30|}}|Opens the print dialog box.|
+|Recalculate: \\ {{:visual3d:getting_started:recalculate.png?30|}}|Recalculates model and event data, can be pressed when changes are made to signals in order to apply it to the model, alternative to [[visual3d:documentation:pipeline:file_commands:recalc|Recalc]]|
+|Pipeline Workshop: \\ {{:visual3d:getting_started:pipeline.png?30|}}|Opens the pipeline workshop dialog box, more information can be found at the following link: [[Visual3D:Documentation:Pipeline:Pipeline_Overview|Visual3D Pipeline]]|
-Opens movement files. Note that although the default mask shows .c3d and .cmo files, this button can also open other file types such as ASCII files.
