Features

Frontend / Tool Palette

Search-first navigation

Top search bar filters visible buttons fast, helping users find families or actions without changing tabs repeatedly.

Vertical tab workflow

Rotated side tabs keep category switching compact while preserving a large scrolling list for actual tool content.

Content-rich rows

Each row can show icon, primary name, category, and family context so the list stays readable even at narrow widths.

Ready for multiple disciplines

Sample palettes already show architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing use cases with consistent UI behavior.
