3 monitor system...
AC3D is a very nice tool. I'm already converting all my models and maps over. however, i have gotten very used to my 3 monitor system and like to be able to arange my window in different configurations. is there a way to do this in v3.6, or is there a mod for it somewhere? thanks. db

Re: 3 monitor system...
Here's an unsupported patch that detaches the 3D window and should allow it to be dragged into another screen.
EDIT tcl/ac3dview.tcl and FIND: proc make_views {} { global viewsetting copycontext global frame ToglWinName global prefs_share_opengl_contexts # MAKE THE 3D WINDOW frame .views.xyzframe -bd 2 -relief sunken frame .views.xyzframe.f pack .views.xyzframe.f -fill both -expand 1 togl .views.xyzframe.f.win -rgba true -double true -depth true pack .views.xyzframe.f.win -fill both -expand 1 set frame(xyz) .views.xyzframe set ToglWinName(xyz) .views.xyzframe.f.win REPLACE WITH: proc make_views {} { global viewsetting copycontext global frame ToglWinName global prefs_share_opengl_contexts # MAKE THE 3D WINDOW toplevel .test wm title .test "3D" frame .views.xyzframe -bd 2 -relief sunken frame .views.xyzframe.f pack .views.xyzframe.f -fill both -expand 1 togl .test.win -rgba true -double true -depth true pack .test.win -fill both -expand 1 set frame(xyz) .views.xyzframe set ToglWinName(xyz) .test.win Let us know if it works on your multi-screen setup.

Re: 3 monitor system...
I tried it - it works.
But I think, it is better to add the following line : wm transient .test [winfo toplevel [winfo parent .test]] to : ... toplevel .test wm title .test "3D" # here is it ! wm transient .test [winfo toplevel [winfo parent .test]] frame .views.xyzframe -bd 2 -relief sunken frame .views.xyzframe.f pack .views.xyzframe.f -fill both -expand 1 ... The 3D window is always on top now. Frank |

Re: 3 monitor system...
here is the AC3d screen on 3 monitors (600x2400)
the 3D window is one full screen, the main editing display is spread accross the other two, and in place of the old 3D view i leave the texture editor open all the time. very nice, lots of space. thanks for the help on this. makes all the difference when working on complex scenes. db check my website for details on the system hardware if your interested.
