Desktop Layout options - whats your favorite

Karl Barker — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 22:03:30 GMT

Here is a question fo all you single screen users out there. Attached is my current screen layout in ArchiCAD 10. does anyone have any suggestions on better ways to work in AC10?
So far, what i have set up seems to be the most efficient for me, but others out there may have some better ideas.

I am using a 17" Flat panel at present, but opbvoiusly would like to move up to something a little larger. Economics suggest that 20" would be most efficient.

Here's mine. 19" CRT.

Karl - If I was in a happier place (i.e on a mac, in New Zealand) I would hide my dock.

At first I didn't like the AC10 layout, but am now finding the info box at the top helpfull. And the Toolbox Tools instead of the Toolbox palette is good too.

Might as well join the queue.

My 24" Dell.
Dock, Navigator etc sits on my left 23" Mac.
Having just bought the Dell another will replace the 23 mac soon.

Mine is on a 30"dell. Worked the same on a 24". (I use the same setup basically for my 17" laptop with the navigator almost always turned off) I have the navigator pallette on a keystroke shortcut so it disappears when I am mainly drawing or in 3d. Use the navigator mainly when I am creating sheets...
