Quick Start

Opening the Hub

Click the EQLabs button in the main toolbar, or choose Tools → EQLabs → Hub.

The Hub is where every EQLabs tool starts. It lists all 121 Hub tools by module and category, and the dashboard keeps the ones you use most within reach.

The Hub dashboard: recently and most used tools, the tools grouped by task, and the module cards.

Opening the Hub, finding a tool by what it does rather than its name, and browsing the six modules instead.

Finding a tool

Search. Type a tool name, a keyword or a problem into the search bar at the top of the Hub. Results update as you type, grouped under the tools that fit and the best matches.

Searching for "vertex snap": the matching tools, with Vertex Snap Helper as the best match.

Browse. Click a module card on the dashboard, or use the tree in the sidebar, to see that module’s categories and then its tools.

The Design module: its eight categories, each with a tool count.

Opening a tool

Click a tool card to see its details: what it does, when to use it, related tools and its tags. Click Open Tool to open it in its own dockable tab. You can keep several tools open at once and dock them anywhere in the editor layout.

Click the star to add a tool to Favorites. Favorites and recently used tools stay at the top of the dashboard.

The details page for Vertex Snap Helper, with Open Tool, the related tools and the favorite star.

Back on the dashboard, the favorited tool sits under Favorites and Recently Used.

The Knowledge Base

The Hub also carries a built-in Knowledge Base: encyclopedia entries on the concepts behind the tools, each linking to the tools that address it. Open it from the bottom of the sidebar.

The Knowledge Base, with its searchable list of entries.
