A Dock Area is an interface element that serves as a container consisting of columns and/or rows that allow multiple Pane (Tab) Group elements to be docked next to one another.

There are a total of five Dock Areas available in DAZ Studio. One in the center, where the Viewport typically resides, and four others positioned around its perimeter. The left and right areas maintain a height that is consistent with the center, while the top and bottom areas span the entire width of the Main Window.

Below is a list of interface elements that a Dock Area can exist within:

• Activity Layout - A container for the various interface elements that make up an Activity.
