The ribbon bar contains all the tools and features necessary for creating and editing rooms in the Drawing Area. Tools are grouped together under tabs (Home, Room, etc.) based on common functionality.
Additionally, there is a File button that opens a menu from which users can save their current project, start a new project, open an existing project, print reports, and so on.
