If you are looking for a program to learn with, this isn't it. The interface, previously limited to monochrome and thus uninviting, now sports three button icon sets - the original very dull black and white, raised gray, and full color. The layout is fully customizable, allowing you to create your own toolbar, containing only the tools you want, and tool options are now always visible in a floating palette. The windows and views have also been enhanced. You can pan around Perspective views using the Hand tool, and two other view tools are now available.
Navigate view makes every view tool available at once, which can make things easier and save time.
Using the Navigate view tool you can Pan, Depth Pan, Rotate, Spin and Zoom. Previously when you wanted to divide the screen into separate views you would get scroll bars, title bars and a whole tool palette for each view. Now you can divide the screen without that excess clutter, creating 'frames', like those found in many other 3D programs. However, this does have drawbacks - redrawing each frame is necessary every time you make an adjustment to your scene, and this can be very time consuming when you are working on large scenes. This can be very useful, but you have to be sure it's what you want to do.
