With the look at the structure of your interface I guess you better use BorderPane as your parent container with this suggestion don't use AnchorPane directly inside the BorderPane container here is my suggestion you do:

->BorderPane-Top = "your menu"

->BorderPane-Center = another container (could be SplitPane, another BorderPane etc.. but not AnchorPane I guess but you can try if you want)

->BorderPane-Bottom = another container (could be hbox with buttons or label for info or notifications etc..)
