Thanks for the reply Michael, I see where you are coming from.

>>That would be cool... But hiding UI and re-using existing space is really needed to keep the UI streamlined and easy to use. There are some

Then, can I make a feature request for tear off panels please?

I have 2 21" screens here and MoI is limited to only one of them. Modo, Photoshop, etc, let me drag panels out of the main interface and onto the other screen so they don't clutter the main window.

It would be great to be able to leave the advanced tools and stuff on the second screen for speed of access. Especially the proposed browser panel.

Carrara suffers from the same problem. Won't let me pull the panels out onto the second screen.

Thanks for listening.
