Chisel adds three primary surfaces to Blender's UI: the *Object Properties* panel for primitive and modifier controls, the *Render Properties* panel for engine settings, and a viewport pie menu for quick access to everything. There's also a workspace draw tool with its own toolbar, gizmos for live blend/rounding adjustment, and an info bar at the top of the 3D View.

## Topics

- **[Panels](panels.md)** — Object Properties, modifier list, Material section
- **[Pie Menu](pie-menu.md)** — `Q` shortcut for everything
- **[Draw Tool](draw-tool.md)** — workspace tool for click-drag primitive placement
- **[Gizmos](gizmos.md)** — viewport gizmos for live blend/rounding adjustment
- **[Info Bar](info-bar.md)** — engine status, shader compilation, GPU backend warnings
