In addition to the 3D view panel, the following information panels are available. They may be made visible or hidden by selecting them from. The name of the panel appears in the upper left corner of the panel when it is displayed:
 * The combo view has two tabs:
 * The Model tab shows you the contents and structure of your document above and the properties (or parameters) of the selected object(s) below. These properties are separated into two categories:
 * Data (properties which concern the geometry itself)
 * View (properties that affect how the geometry looks on screen).
 * The Tasks tab is where FreeCAD will prompt you for values specific to the workbench and tool you are currently using. For example, entering a 'length' value when the Draft Workbench Line Tool is being used. It will close after the OK (or Cancel) button is pressed. By double-clicking the related object in the Model tab, most tools will allow you to reopen the corresponding Task tab in order to modify the settings.
 * The report view is normally hidden, but it is a good idea to open it as it will list any information, warnings or errors to help you decipher (or debug) what you may have done wrong.
 * The Python console is also hidden by default. This is where you can interact with the contents of the document using the Python language. Since every action you do on the FreeCAD interface actually executes a piece of Python code, having this open allows you to watch the code unfold in real time &mdash; allowing you a wonderful and easy way to learn a little Python on the way, almost without noticing it.
 * The tree view displays only the object tree shown under the Model tab in the combo view. It is normally hidden.
 * The property view displays only the object property information shown at the bottom of the combo view. It is normally hidden.
 * The selection view shows the names of any objects which are currently selected. These are the objects to which a workbench operation will be applied. The selection view is normally hidden; you can usually determine the currently selected object by looking at the object tree in the Model tab of the combo view.
