ArchStudio User Interface Standards

• User interfaces should follow typical platform conventions and be professional, which means they should be more-or-less indistinguishable from other professional-quality applications and Eclipse plug-ins.
  • The Eclipse user interface guidelines can be found  here
• Novel UI mechanisms and metaphors are OK as long as they are useful, intuitive, and documented.
• Consistent iconography is useful to maintain the overall look-and-feel of ArchStudio, see the branding standards for more information.

Goals for ArchStudio 5 include:

• Basic UI functionality such as copy/paste, undo/redo, multiple select, etc. need to be supported.
