How do I get visualisation off my screen ? all I wanted was a simple colour change to a body and now I have a visualisation pane on the right that will not go away.
Is this a Mac only problem ?

I donāt have this issue on my MacBook Air M1. I simply click the ā<ā at the top of the screen to return to the design screen.
Thanks - that works. I was looking around the right side of the screen, all the other controls are over there.

Thank you @welshsteve, Iām a new user, and I had the same exact question. I looked all over for some way to get out of visualization mode, and finally exited the program to make it happen. (That worked, but I wanted a faster solution!)
My feedback: the left arrow isnāt that intuitive, at least not to me or @Andrew1.
A suggestion: going into visualization mode on my mac, I went to tools/visualize and clicked that menu option which turned on that mode. When I was trying to figure out how to turn it off, one thing I tried was going back to the same place. Some apps show a checkmark when a mode mode is on, in that case re-selecting the same menu option toggles the same mode back off.
The back arrow is faster than pulling down a menu, but less intuitive. Maybe thereās an even more intuitive approach that someone can think of someday, but for now Iād suggest enabling both options to reduce frustration for new users.

You can switch between spaces with the buttons on the left side.
Which buttons exactly? Neither one of these exits visualisation mode.
Another screenshot, covering more of the window. I remember the < in a previous version before, itās gone now though.

Ah I see, thanks. A little counterintuitive after entering visualisation mode. It would make more sense to be consistent throughout the app, similar to how you enter isolation mode, and a little exit popup at the very top.
They are quite different, as Isolation mode is a tool, while we consider both Visualization and Drawing a āspaceā separate from the modeling space, with their own specific sidebars and tools.
How we handle isolation right now is actually not optimal, and we will revisit it in the coming months.
I would second others that there needs to be an easy way on my iPad Pro M2 to exit Visualization mode. That canāt be that difficultā¦ In my ruff memory I think there use to be a button of sorts the exited visualization once I learned what button that was. There should not be an excuse that this needs to be so hard. We all love Shapr3D because of how powerful and easy this app is to use.
Itās weird because it wasnāt long before that new pointless window on the left was introduced that they gave us simple buttons to jump between and then quickly got rid of it.
I really wish the 3 modes were just simple buttons again. Itās so counterintuitive clicking on a button that says āModellingā (when youāre already in the modelling window) to find Visualisation and your drawings. Thereās so much space along the top that could be used and the window could appear only when you click a 2D drawings button instead.
I remember doing a usability test before they added it and telling them that it felt like a step backwards and then being disappointed when it made it into the software permanently.
I like that I can be in modeling, select visualize from the functions barā¦. But I then hate that I have to go to a different part of the screen (iPad) and re-select modeling to go back. Completely agree that a simple icon menu to toggle between sketch, modeling, visualization and drawing (the 4 main functional workflows) would be ideal. Would also eliminate the need for the items filter and be more intuitive.

Iām not sure that sketching and modelling would need to be separate as theyāre done in the same workspace.
Shapr actually treats them as different workspaces with their own functions, at least thatās what Iāve taken from their responses. Thatās the only reason I suggested the 4.
