Editor right column → collapsible inspector

The rail's controls grouped into categories that fold up like the 3D-preview dock, with the 3D preview moved back in as one of the sections. Each opens a faithful editor mock (blush nav + new wordmark, real categories) — drag the box to rotate, drag the fold slider, click headers to collapse.

Categories used: 3D preview · Dimensions (units, outer/inner, L/W/H, thickness, bleed) · Options (thumb notch, window, euro) · Layers · Print & Cut · Paper fit · Export.

A · Accordion

Stacked collapsible sections

One vertical list; click any section header to expand/collapse, and several can stay open at once. Each header shows a live summary (e.g. the current size). “Collapse all” at the top.

+ Familiar, scannable, everything in one scroll– A long rail if many are open+ Live summaries on collapsed headers– Less compact than tabs
B · Icon tabs

Icon strip + one panel at a time

A vertical icon rail; click an icon to show that category, others hide. Collapse the panel (») to leave just the icons and reclaim canvas. Most space-efficient — like Figma/Blender.

+ Most canvas space; very compact– Only one category visible at a time+ One-click collapse to icons– Icons need learning / tooltips
C · Dock cards

Cards that collapse to pills (matches the 3D dock)

Each category is a bordered card styled exactly like the floating 3D-preview dock; collapse any to a mustard pill. The most literal take on “make the rail like the 3D preview thing.”

+ Consistent with the dock you liked– Cards + shadows = more visual weight+ Each card collapses independently– Pills still take a row each
D · Floating cards

Dock cards floating on a full-bleed canvas

Same cards as C, but no rail panel — no background, no left border. The canvas goes full width and the category cards float over it (top-right), exactly like the current 3D dock but for every section. Collapse any to a pill.

+ Biggest canvas; everything feels like the 3D dock– Cards overlay the artwork (top-right)+ Most modern / "floating tools" feel– Long stack can need its own scroll

My lean: A (accordion) for the cleanest everyday use, or C (dock cards) if you want it to visually echo the 3D dock. B is best if reclaiming canvas space is the priority. These are Desktop mockups — nothing in the repo.
