# Interaction with woodWOP

A special feature of SmartWOP is the ability to work directly with woodWOP. For example, you can insert woodWOP components from the "Edits" section.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** To enable interaction with the woodWOP software, woodWOP must be installed on the computer.

You can use the complete range of functions of woodWOP by selecting a component (1) and clicking on one of the two woodWOP menu items (2) in the title bar.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** The selection is locked when you are in the "Edits" tab. Just switch to another tab, e.g. "Elements".
