hello houdini community,
im new to the program and can't seem to get back some panes.
It started out with the left half of my screen as the viewport and the right half of my screen: the network editor and below, the parameters pane.
When I closed the two right panes, I could not get them back.

Your help will be much appreciated!

Go to menu Desktops->Build or click Alt+ and change pane types.

Hi,

So ok I'm assuming you've only got 1 big massive viewport pane now yeah ?

click on the pane menu and scroll down to split left/right. This should generate two panes for you.
go to your right pane now.
Again click on pane and scroll down to split top/bottom. That should get you 3 panes again.

Finally change the bottom right pane back to a parameters pane, by going to pane menu and clicking parameters (or alt+3).

That's the slow way but it shows you how you can manipulate all the various panes so you can set them up in a way that you like.

Hoknamahn posted the quick way already.

Enjoy and welcome to the houdini community.

Cheers
Starkhorn

thanx, its finally working out!
