Twinfinity Hub is your central workspace for managing buildings, models, and documents – but it’s also your launchpad for opening the Twinfinity apps. There are two main ways to open apps from the Hub, depending on where you’re working. The Easiest Way: Use the Tools Menu The quickest way to open any Twinfinity app is directly from the top toolbar in Twinfinity Hub. In the top menu, click  Tools . Choose what you want to do: Components  – to manage and add building components. Issues  – to report and follow up on building issues. Spaces  – to explore and work with rooms and areas. IFC Viewer  – to view and analyze 3D building models. The selected app will open automatically in a new tab, connecting to the same building archive you’re currently working in. This method is ideal when you’re already working with files in the Hub and quickly want to switch to an app without leaving your current context.
