This documentation describes the interface and the functionalities of Patchwork 3D without distinction of version.
It begins with a presentation of the new features, the hardware requirements, and a short section on how to get started with Patchwork 3D.
This document is organized by topic. It does not need to be read in order, and you do not need to read it from cover to cover unless you want to. Instead, use the search function (Ctrl+F), the table of contents, and the index to help you find what you are looking for. The chapter and first sub-heading are always listed at the top of the page so that you will know where you are.
Interface Text
Text in the interface and shortcut keystrokes are written differently so that they will be easy to see. They appear like this in the text.
Links
You will also see hyperlinks in the text. This is an example of a link to the New features.
