VRED has two user interfaces:
- A standard user interface that includes all VRED functionality.
- A simple user interface that includes a smaller, basic set of functionality for casual users who are not familiar with visualization tools.

1 Menu Bar includes all main functions for creating and editing VRED content. It provides access to different modules available in VRED and enables basic file actions like saving and opening.
2 Icons Bar provides shortcuts to access common features like saving the scene or toggling ray tracing mode, or switching between the simple UI and the standard UI.
3 Scenegraph lists all nodes in the scene.
4 Render View displays the whole scene. It allows you to change the view as well as select and modify objects directly.
5 Quick Access Bar provides easy, fast access to main functions such as the Material Editor, Clip Maker, and Variants.
6 Status line provides information about memory usage. This feature allows you to change the up vector, near and far clip planes, and field of view. It also integrates the Terminal.
