# Getting Started in Rhino

There are several interfaces and interaction points for Pollination in Rhino.

* [Pollination Room Manager](#pollination-room-manager): An icon and table-based interface allowing for analytical model creation, editing, and management.
* Pollination Panel: Brings the Pollination [Web Platform](https://app.pollination.solutions/) into Rhino.
* [Pollination Commands](#pollination-commands): Type in commands from getting a license to building a shade element.

## Pollination Room Manager

To pull up the Pollination Room Manager, type `Pollination` in the command line. Once you hit Enter, a panel will emerge that you can dock in your window as you would a native Rhino panel.
