Recently my dad and brothers went overseas, which meant I stole both of their LCDs. smiley I've connected them both and tried to move the 3D view window of Hammer to my other LCD, but couldn't manage it. Does anybody else know how to do this?

Edit: Oh apologies, I put this in the wrong section. Should have been Source Editing, didn't see it before I posted this.

You can have hammer in one window and snarkpit in the other smiley

Oh, well actually, you can make all your views in Hammer as separate windows. And, if you un-maximize Hammer, but stretch it to fit both monitors, you can size up your views independently. Also, because un-maximized Hammer won't remember its stretched size next time you open it, there's a nice feature that allows you to save the size of the independent window views and load them at will with one click.

First to make your views independent, go to tools>options>general>check on "use independent window configuration"

Then size your Hammer and arrange your views how you'd like, or similarly, you can autosize them by going to: view>autosize 4 views

Then when you like the way they look you can click the save view layout button on the "Mapview" bar (usually at the top with the grid buttons) (it looks like an icon of several cascaded windows, one with an "S" and the other with an "L"). S=save, L=load.

Next time you Open Hammer, you'll still have to stretch it across the monitors, but after you load your map, you can simply click the window layout Load button, and it will automatically size up your views the way you had them.

Another option is to check within the "General" tab on the options window the "load default window positions with maps" that may achieve a similar effect, but could possibly mess-up views with different maps when they load, causing you to change the views each time.

Also too, if you don't want the views to be separate windows, you can still stretch Hammer out and leave the views as one window split in four, and simply right click the top left title of each view to change which view it shows. Thus rearranging which views are where.

-Oh, and I moved the topic to the Source Engine Editing Forum. smiley

I hope this helps, and is what you were looking for?

Now to continue my lately amateurish mapping!! smiley
