Preview and position panel

Any way to keep the position/preview panel and custom parameters open at the same time? Am referring to library parts.

Would like to make changes to parameters and see the change in the preview window at the same time. Right now, either one or the other can be open but not both.

Have tried different combos of controls in the work environment/dialogue & palettes settings but can't seem to do it.

Thanks.

How big is your dialog box? I have preview, Parameters, Symbol styles, Floor plan and Section, Model and Listing and Labelling panels all open at once on a North point symbol object (27inch iMac). Can you stretch your dialog box to be longer?

How about with doors and windows? Still get the preview window open when trying to change parameters?

If stretching the dialog box to maximum height does not give you enough space to have both panes open at the same time (there are minimum sizes for each pane), then you can go to Work Environment > Tool Schemes > Tool Settings Dialog Boxes > Door Tool and hide one or more of the panes you don't use to create more available space. If that works, then save a new Tool Scheme with these changes. I had to hide a few panes for this to work on my 15" MacBook Pro screen.
