Thanks for the quick reply :-) Though I'm sorry to report that none of them really duplicate Lightwave's rotation scheme. I will just have to get used to the Standard Houdini mode, then.

Hiya,

After working in Lightwave for several years I've become very used to the “trackball” style of rotating in the viewport. The result is that out of habit I end up cocking the Houdini view way out of line when I rotate it. It doesn't behave as I expect…

Is there some way to make Houdini use the Trackball style of rotation instead of this “tumble” thing?

Thanks,
Andrwe

Hiya,

I've just started with the apprentice edition. I'm running a fresh install of Windows XP. I have an nVidia geforce fx 5600 hooked to two plain monitors. Ordinary windows operations work fine, window spanning etc, but when I create a “floating pane” in Houdini so I can move some of the interface to my second monitor, I discover that all the menus pop up on the first monitor, not under my cursor where they should be. Needless to say this is incredibly annoying and unacceptable.

This is probably a quirk of my drivers, but I've tried several combinations of settings in the nView config thing and so far nothing gives me the behavior I expect.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Andrew
