-The Options window is divided into tabs. The General tab has options for filling in information on the model properties and model backup settings. The EGO script tab is related to the EGO script format. The System tab comprehends ​options related to system setup, such as enabling and disabling auto updates. The Metadata allows inspecting and editing the current metadata template. The Integration tab enables configuring the active session name and plugins such as R Integration with Dinamica.

-The Model Overview provides a synoptic view of the model and is especially useful for large models that do not fit entirely on the sketch when shown at default size. The shaded area on the bird view corresponds to the sketch window. Move the shade to zoom at a particular part of the model. The tree view provides a hierarchical view of the model allowing one to select or locate a functor and subsequently to edit its properties through the functor property window. ​+The Model Overview provides a synoptic view of the model and is especially useful for large models that do not fit entirely on the sketch when shown at default size.
