Multi-display support

Anonymous — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 08:00:44 GMT

Hello folks.

Is there a way to make 3d/section window leave main archicad display ? Because i cant use my second monitor for displaying anything except toolbars. Its a bit strange if you ask me. So, maybe i'm missing some setting that needs to be changed in order to be able to use multiple screens ?

What i want is have a section displayed on my secondary, while i draw/edit plan on primary... is it possible ?

Thanks

This comes up once in a while for poor PC users:

Sorry but still a bit confused... Does this mean that PC users can't have the 3d window on the 2nd monitor? I tried, but couldn't move it over. Maybe because I have 2 different size monitors?

Jay (Hey) Garbarino's post says that he stretches a tiled (not maximized) screen between displays. Try that.

On PC, maximizing the windo locks Archicad to one display.

Did you not understand the instructions in the other post that Dwight referenced? It works, you just have to configure your video settings correctly.

Stretching the viewport kind of works - but not as nicely as shown on Link's images on the other thread. (That thread somehow displyed new messages on top - i just found out - which added to my confusion...)
