Is there any way to use a dual monitor with Carraara? It’s very handy being able to drag tool bars and such onto the other screen leaving the work area clear. I can’t find any mention of it in the manual.

Go to File|Preferences, switch to the General settings and down at the bottom you'll see the multiple monitor settings.

FWIW, this is what I've settled on.

Yup! I've got mine setup the same as bevans84.  Nothing like a nice roomy workspace on my 19" and the browser nice and big on the 17".  :)

Thanks U, sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to find, especially in tech manuals.;)

I use my two 19" screens as one big window to run Carrara in.  The task bar goes across the bottom of both monitors.  Often times, I drag Hex to one screen and Carrara to the other when working with both.

Good idea about having a modeling app up on one of the screens SHONNER.  I used to do that with Bryce and Organica.  I'd completely forgotten.  It's also a good way to do the tutorials.  Carrara on one screen, tutorial going on the other.  You can follow along.

Just remember Rorsdors...lotta good stuff under prefs.

No need to think outside the box....
