The Go To dialog box has three tabs.  However, some of those tabs are hidden when they can not be used.  The three tabs are

The user selects one of the tabs, chooses what is to be made visible and click on the OK button to change what is visible.

The Position Tab

The Position tab is always visible. In it, the user specifies the coordinates of the location to be made visible.  The user also specifies the views of the model to be changed.  Depending on which view of the model the user selects, some of the edit boxes in which the coordinates are specified will be enabled or disabled.

The Element Tab

The Element tab is visible when a grid has been created.  In it, the user specifies the column, row, and layer number to be made visible.  The user also specifies the views of the model to be changed.  Depending on which views of the model the user selects, some of the edit boxes in which the column, row, and layer numbers are specified will be enabled or disabled.

The Object Tab

The Object tab is visible when one or more objects have been created.  In it, the user selects the object to be displayed on the screen.  Because objects are associated with particular views of the model, the user does not specify the view of the model to be changed.  If the user checks the "Select object" check box, the object will become selected as well as being brought into view when the OK button is clicked.
