Blender is a powerful 3D modeling, animation, and visual effects software that offers a variety of editors for manipulating different aspects of your projects. In this article, we will walk you through the process of changing the editor type in Blender 2.8x and 3.x versions, allowing you to customize your workspace according to your specific needs.

Changing the Editor Type in Blender:

To change the editor type in Blender, follow these simple steps:

  1. Locate the Editor Header: Move your mouse to the top section of the editor area where you want to change the editor type. The editor header contains several buttons and options.
  2. Click on the First Button: In the editor header, click on the first button, which typically looks like a downward-facing arrow or a small triangle. This button is the Editor Type Selector.
  3. Select a Different Editor: After clicking the Editor Type Selector button, a dropdown menu will appear, displaying various available editor types. Choose a different editor that suits your needs by clicking on it.
  4. Complete the Selection: Once you have selected a different editor type, click again to finalize your choice. The selected editor will replace the previous one in the editor area.

Visual Feedback:
In Blender, the icon on the Editor Type Selector button provides visual feedback about the current editor type you are using. When you open the dropdown menu, the icon corresponding to the currently active editor will be highlighted or displayed next to it.

Conclusion:
By following these steps, you can easily change the editor type in Blender 2.8x and 3.x versions. This flexibility allows you to adapt your workspace to different stages of your project or specific tasks. Experiment with different editor types to find the most efficient workflow for your 3D modeling, animation, and visual effects endeavors.
