Do you want to move the tab? Are you tabs locked? You can unlock the tabs and move them where you want.
If it's the help panel in the way, I think you can double click on that middle bar to hide it.
Hmm... need a bit more info. What was in that space before? Was it the Auxilliary Viewport (which shows a small preview image of your scene)?
See the little "Tabs" along the left edge of your screenshot? They say "Aux Viewport", "Environment", "Parameters", etc. Try clicking those. Also, you might have inadvertently expanded the upper panel. Maybe a full screenshot of your workspace would be more helpful to get a good answer.
K yeh I did that. Now how do I fix it so its one pane with this like it was before instead of one window above the other? (in pic)
I posted a similar question because it seems impossible to resize the panels. It used to be possible but I think it is now broken.
yeh that's what I hate about these programs sometimes is you do something innocent then next thing you find yourself in a mess trying to correct it lol. Kind of irritating.
Hopefully this is what you mean and helps you. I'm dragging the Aux window to the top panes and then back again to the parameters area. https://gyazo.com/88f4ae707b398919bebee4412b258844
Toobis, click and hold on the auxiliary viewport tab and drag it and drop it in the viewport somewhere. While it is floating like this there are two ways you can grab it. If you use the hand to click and hold on the tab you can drag it and drop it next to the scene tab and the two panes should be in the same window. If you hover over the top of the floating pane you get a fourway arrow. Click and hold there and you can drag the pane to the top, bottom or edge of another pane and wherever you get the yellow line highlight you can drop the pane and it becomes its own window. Just a way to customise the UI to suit your workflow. For me I can have two panes open at the same time on one side of the viewport and work in them both without having to constantly switch back and forth. It gets real easy to move stuff around and customise once you work out whats going on.
You're so right... but once you get the hang of it, things will get a lot easier. It would, however, be SO helpful if there were some kind of command to "Lock Interface Elements" so that everything stays in place. Clicking on something in Daz Studio just to see what it does can lead to a lot of unwanted headaches.
You could also save your layout so if you do accidentally things you can simply reload it to get back where you were. Plus, breaking things and trying to put them back together is how you learn stuff:)
Thanks all.
