Are there any functions related to the property manager and command manager features like in the Solidworks U.I. For my project I have been trying to make a UI like Solidworks and these are the only functions I don't know of. Are there anything similar for Qt? In general, what are functions that will lead to a features like in the image shown?

Hi,
From a quick glance, you could mimic the Property Manager with a QTabWidget containing a QTreeView/QTreeWidget.
The Command Manager looks like a row of QToolButton objects.

Thanks for your help! Just another follow up question. Can the QToolWidgets be linked to a specific tab so if I click on one tab and if I click on another they bring up different buttons. Also in the property manager using the tab widgets can I add commands in the tree widgets?

You're welcome :)
Answers: Yes, and yes. You'll need to write custom C++ code to do that, of course!

Last follow up question. How do I set an icon to each feature like in the commands in the photo and is it possible to add a widget to a widget? Like can I make a Tab widget and add a table widget under it? Thanks in advance

[quote]How do I set an icon to each feature like in the commands in the photo[/quote]I recommend reading Qt's documentation. It is very comprehensive.
Start with QToolButton::setIcon().
