Archicad gives you several ways to find and open the project view or window you need.
Navigator
The Navigator palette contains all of your project’s viewpoints, views, Layouts and Publisher sets, listed in four maps.
Find and double-click any item to open it.
Use the search field to locate items by name.
Note: When you open a new view or new layout, it can either replace the opened view/layout, or open in a separate new tab. Change this preference in Options > Work Environment > More Options.
Exception: You can have only one Floor Plan and one 3D window open at a time.
See Navigator.
Tab Bar
Click any tab, or click on its preview, to activate it.
See Tab Bar.
Window menu
Use Window > Navigate or other commands
Mini-Navigator toolbar
Open from Windows > Toolbars
Pop-up Navigator
A pared-down version of the Navigator palette, available in pop-up form at the right edge of the Tab bar. You can use this instead of the Navigator palette to save screen space.
See Pop-up Navigator.
