Combo view

From FreeCAD Documentation

Introduction

The Combo view appears in a panel called Model. It combines the Tree view (upper section) and the Property editor (lower section).

The Task panel, which used to be part of the Combo view, is a separate panel called Tasks in version 1.0 and above. It can be docked on top of the Combo view to achieve the compact layout of earlier versions.
