Let's design a very simple dialog, like this: So, now that we have well defined what we will do, it's time to open the qt designer. The interface toolkit we are using, Qt, is a state-of-the-art toolkit, and we won't have to worry much about making things clear, since they will already be very clear by themselves. Nowadays, though, users usually know well what is a button, what is an input field, etc. The user knows that clicking a button will produce an action while changing a value inside a text field will change a parameter somewhere. Separating commands from parameters: This is usually done with buttons and text input fields.Label everything with proper description, use tooltips, etc. Identifying what is required and what is optional: Make sure the user knows what he must do.In some case the first is better, in other cases not. Modal/non-modal dialogs: A modal dialog appears in front of your screen, stopping the action of the main window, forcing the user to respond to the dialog, while a non-modal dialog doesn't stop you from working on the main window.There are a couple of concepts to know when designing interface: So it is very important to think carefully to what you want to do, how you want the user to behave, and how will be the workflow of your action. About everything the user will do will be through some piece of interface: reading dialog boxes, pressing buttons, choosing between icons, etc. In CAD applications, designing a good UI (User Interface) is very important. Two general methods to create interfaces, by including the interface in the Python file, or by using.

Although this is possible for small interfaces, for larger interfaces the recommendation is to load the created. In this example, the entire interface is defined in Python.

We'll assume that the user knows how to edit and run Python generally. In this page we will show how to build a simple graphical interface with Qt Designer, Qt's official tool for designing interfaces the dialog will be converted to Python code, then it will be used inside FreeCAD.
