A short intro to how to use the viewer. A lot of interaction is common to many 3d viewers. There are two menus that help with interactions.

Spacebar menu

The spacebar menu is inspired by Horzion-EDA. It offers a quick way to access all viewer actions. To open the spacebar simply press the spacebar. Focus will change to the menu's filter box. Start typing to filter the available actions and click the action to trigger it.
