I am coming from Cinema4D, and I have it setup with the viewports on the second monitor and the tools on the other. How do I set this up in Houdini? I would like the Houdini viewport on my second monitor. and if/once it is done can it be saved as my default/startup?

To be honest I'm not sure, but you can tear off viewport pane tab (in viewport menu) and miximize it on second monitor. After that you can save your configuration as new Desktop.

There are several year old bugs about setting up panes that maximizes from code at startup.

Version 15.5 @Windows10

Windows > New Floating Panel (Alt + Shift + W)

Upper right Corner of new Window ist a triangle facing downwards, click it
Set Pane Tab Type: Scene View (Alt+1)

Hope this helps

Hi…i am a new user here. I added a second monitor for streaming… whenever I launch the game it defaults to the #2 monitor and not the main. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm running a non-Steam version of the game.
