By default, when launching MotionBuilder all windows are in a docked position, but you can rearrange the interface by docking and undocking UI elements.
Docking and undocking
To undock a window:
- Do one of the following:
- Click this icon
in the top right corner of the window.
- If you have a second monitor connected to your system, drag the double-dotted edge (
) of a window onto a space of the second monitor.
To dock a window:
- Drag the double-dotted edge () of a window around the UI.
As you drag the window across the UI, other UI elements automatically shift to accommodate it. A white outline of the window displays to indicate a docking location. When you release the mouse button, the window locks into place.
Note: If UI elements do not immediately shift out of the way for you to dock a window, try moving the window to various places around your attempted dock point. Dock widgets need to be released near the middle of a dockable area.
Return MotionBuilder to a default layout
- In the MotionBuilder main menu, select Layout, and then the default window layout, such as Editing, you want to use.
Docking behavior
- When called, locked windows will have a new floating window created. If the original is floating when called, the focus will move to the floating window.
- Tabs within windows will float or re-dock as complete windows.
The following lists the docking behavior:
