Older versions of hou did not do this (I think), but when you change the fov by hitting ctrl + right click, it brings up this annoying screen window. How do you turn it off? Thanks

This is cool new feature added in H18 IIRC?
You can disable it by by clicking on the cam icon in the middle above the viewport. See screenshot below.

that changes the mode, doesn't turn off the screen window. It may be a feature but its blocking the viewport making it harder to see.

I think you mis understand my problem, when you change the fov it is forced to be there. ctrl + right click changes the fov, then the screen windows is automatically turned on. In default settings it does turn off the screen window, but if you alter the fov as I mentioned above, it is forced on.

lol, that resets the fov though. See what I mean? I need to change the fov and get rid of the screen window. If I change the fov then hit that button, it just resets the fov. sorry, I have literally tried everything : (

Ah alright, yeah that makes sense. My bad.
Could be an interaction the devs didn't plan for.
For now you can create a camera, edit its FOV and lock the view to the camera.

Hey guys,

This “screen window” feature is something that really annoys me. I'm constantly switching back and forth from viewing my geometry through a camera to freely moving around in the perspective viewport.
Every time I switch, the screen window appears.
Is there a way to permanently disable this feature?

Thanks,
Manu
