The menu bar contains the File, Edit, Camera and About menus, whose options are described below.
...
Perspective - Option for viewing the workcell in which the objects in the 3D View are presented in two dimensions while still displaying the effect of distance.
Orthographic - Option for viewing the workcell in which the parallel lines of the shape of objects in 3D View are depicted as orthogonal (at right angles) to the projection plane.
About
About RapidPlan Create
Displays the version number and build ID for the current RapidPlan Create software.

Mode Selector
...
Choose here between Model Mode and Roadmap Mode. A new project always begins in Model Mode.

Adding or removing joints
Changes to robot presets
Any additional kinematic chain/TCP changes on a given robot
When the relative offset between a target and a robot base has changed so the robot configuration can can’t reach its target. (In this case, the target isn’t deleted, but target assignment may be lost.)
If there are no changes in the above categories, the target assignments will still be retained.
...
There is no restriction moving from Roadmap Mode to Model Mode. However, all validation states will be reset and auto-connects are invalidated during the transition. Once back to Roadmap mode, all roadmaps must be re-validated again and this change may result in different generated paths based on the previous changes.
To ensure motion paths are maintained the same during transition, convert auto-connects to targets and direct connections.

The values in the lower left corner of the 3D View give the current location of the cursor in 3D space.
The Property Tree
...
Frame Rate
The frame rate, aka frame per second that is a metric to indicate amount of images a display can render per second. It is located on the bottom right corner
...
Collison View
The Property Tree
...
The components of the workcell model (robots, objects, mates, targets, etc.) are listed here. You can select items, display more details, and delete or edit items.
...
The property tree view can be filtered based on texts in the search box.
Expand/Reduce
Press “>” on the left of an object from the property tree to expand.
...
Double clicking an auto-connect will open the dialog.
Collision
...
Collision Rules
Provides a list of objects that have collision checking disabled. Objects can be added or removed from the list.ability to disable collision checking for a robot/preset roadmap or part of that roadmap. Collision rules allows to govern roadmap for a robot/preset as this rule is taken into consideration during path planning.
...
NOTE: Validation needs to be done after creation or edition of any such rule to view the change in this list for the computed path to take the same into account.

the change in roadmap.
Context Menu
...
The context menu can be triggered from any object under the “Globally Disable Object” tree. Enabling or disabling collision checking is by right-clicking any rule under the “Collision Rules” in the property tree.
Globally Disable Object
Provides a list of objects that have collision checking disabled. Objects can be added or removed from the list.
NOTE: Validation needs to be done after any change in this list for the computed path to take the same into account.
...
Context Menu
...
The context menu can be triggered from any object under the “Globally Disable Object” tree. Enabling or disabling collision checking is also possible from the Object context menu.
Collision Analysis
Generated list of pairs of links/objects in the project that (a) will never collide, (b) are always equidistant, or (c) almost always collide. All these detected pairs can be selected, or a subset of them, to disable collision checking for path planning.
...
Context Menu
...
The context menu can be triggered from any pairs under the “Collision Analysis” tree.
Clearance Rules
Provides ability to set clearance rule for a robot/preset roadmap or part of that roadmap.
...
Clearance rules, like collision rules, allows to govern roadmap for a robot/preset as this rule is taken into consideration during path planning.
For more information, please refer to to the Roadmap Mode section.
