Scene Layouts and Views
The workspace can be divided into multiple scenes that contain different views of the objects contained within each scene. A scene can also be divided into multiple views, or segments, that display multi-planar reformats or a 3D view of the objects contained in the scene.
The layout of the scenes in the workspace, as well as the layout of the views in a scene, can be selected in the Layout panel.

Colored separators indicate the border between scenes in the workspace and between views within a scene. See Selecting the Colors Preferences for information about choosing colors for the scene and scene view separators. See Selecting the Views Preferences for information about selecting the size of the separators.
