Being a long time Rhino user, you develop habits, and when trying to arrange my workplace in R8, i tried uncessfully to dock my Rhinocam 2024 panels to the left side, the friggin blue rectangles that are supposed to apear there to allow the docking refuse to appear, any hints about how to do it ?? regards from the Canary Islands the Hawaii of the Atlantic

When you pull a panel near where you want it, instead of the original large blue rectangle you were used to seeing in V7, you will see likely 4 small blue squares, top, bottom, left and right. Each of those represents a possible docking position. continue pulling the panel to the small square that represents the position you want, when the mouse cursor hits the square, the large blue rectangle will appear. Let up on the mouse button and the panel will dock.

Thank you very much Sir, your advise was very helpful, I managed with your help to arrange everything like I like it. Rhino King of the Cad Sowtware reigns supreme, Here you can see what I designed and built with this wonderful piece of software:

Hi encephalon, we build those mainly as fast sports fishing boats but showing athletic wimen aboard is also another of its goals 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
