Hi,

since I switched my dual monitor setup, some houdini windows (e.g. the opening dialog or the channel editor) open outside the desktop. Houdini seems to be the only app with this behaviour.

The windows re-appear inside the viewable area when I switch from the new setup (monitors side-by-side) to the old one (monitor 1 above monitor 2) and back again.

Is there a reset-option?

Cheers,
Marc

same problem. if I'am trying to edit parameter interface on floating parameter window, which shown on second monitor, parameter interface window just doesn't appear ((

Hm. I just deleted my “houdini11.0” folder and re-opened houdini. Same problem…

Sorry, I forgot to give my specs:
Win7 64-bit
Nvidia Quadro NVS 320M, drv: 258.96
H11.0.658 64-Bit (same problem with older builds)

I've done the obvious and contacted sidefx tech support.
Will report back, when I hear something.

Cheers

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.

I just installed Houdini for the first time.

Windows 7 64 bit
AMD Phenom II
ATI Radeon HD 4300
8Gb Ram

I am running dual monitors a 25“ and 19”

Windows show the dialogue boxes open but they are apparently off screen? It does this with all dialogue boxes?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

You could try to use the nview desktop manager to prevent the application from opening windows outside the desktop are. there's something similar for ati cards too called HydraVision - which may has this option too.

Here is the answer…

returning to this topic… the link above is broken*

So how do you retrieve a window whose handle is outside of screen area?

just did “tear off pane tab copy” and Houdini (15.0) dropped the window on the upper right with the window bar off screen. No access!




*which is why link only answers are problematic. link and explain if you want your answer to last!

Answer:
Find the stranded panel under the Task Bar icon,
right click,
select move,
move with arrow keys!
