The MOOSE Data Tree View says "Select MOOSE app", but there is nothing in the drop-down menu to chose from.

This means that you don't have the correct .yaml and .syntax files in your MOOSE directory. Make sure you've followed the instructions for correctly creating these files and placing them in the appropriate directory on your system.

My NiCE workbench doesn't look like the one in your screenshots.

All tabs and windows in NiCE can be dragged, re-ordered, minimized and closed.

I selected a block in the Tree Viewer, but can't find the parameters associated to it.

Block parameters are always displayed as a table in our Property Viewer. It's possible you may have minimized or closed your Property Viewer tab accidentally.

If it's been minimized, look for a small spreadsheet-like icon on the right-hand side of your NiCE workbench and click it.

If you can't find such an icon, then the Property Viewer has probably been closed. To re-open it, use the toolbar at the top of the NiCE workbench:

1. Navigate to Window > Show View > Other... > General > Properties.
2. Click OK and the Property Viewer should now appear. You can re-size or drag the window to a spot in the workbench that best suits your needs.

How can I view the file generated by the MOOSE Model Builder?

In the toolbar at the top of the NiCE workbench, navigate to File > Open File..., and select the file in your NiCE workspace that you'd like to view. If the file type (.i) is already associated to another program in your operating system, then the file will launch externally in that application. Otherwise, the file should open directly in NiCE's native text editor.

If for any reason the file extension is associated to another application (for example, Xcode on a Mac) and you'd prefer for the file to open within the NiCE workbench, assign the file extension in NiCE using the following steps:

1. Window > Preferences > General > Editors > File Associations
2. In the top box, click Add... and define a file type called *.i (including the wild character). Click OK.
3. Select the new *.i file type entry. In the Associated editors box below, click Add..., and from the list of internal editors, find Text Editor. Click OK.
4. Close the Preferences window by clicking OK.

Using the File > Open File... function should now force any .i files to open within NiCE's native text editor.

Note that this method only overrides your file type association within NiCE, and doesn't impact the file association set on your operating system.
