There are two status bars: one at the bottom of the SMS application window and a second attached to the Main Graphics Window. The status bar attached to the main application window shows help messages when the mouse hovers over a tool or an item in a dialog box. At times, it also may display a message in red text to prompt for specific actions, such as that shown in the figure below.

Status messages appear in bold red text here to inform the user on progress of a command.

The second status bar, attached to the Main Graphics Window, is split into two separate panes. The left shows the mouse coordinates when the model is in plan view. The right pane shows information for selected entities.
