Docking Panes

Cricket

OK, another stupid question from me - if I accidentally undocked my scene tab, how do I dock it again, so it's not just floating around in the middle of my viewport?

Check that Window>Workspace>Lock Docking/Undocking is not checked. If you want the Scene pane in an existing group, drag it by the tab and drop it on the tabs of the panes with which you want to dock it; if you want it in a new pane group of its own drag it by the top of its frame to the edge of the interface you want the pane group against, or the top/bottom of the column with an existing pane group you want it above/below, and drop when a line in the highlight colour appears along the correct edge.

I accidentally undocked the Scene pane and now I can't make it its own pane group again.  Whenever I try to place it back where it was it's placed in the same group as Smart Content (so I have to switch between the two rather than seeing both simultaneously).  I tried dragging it to the top and bottom of the pane as you say above but the edge never highlights and it just ends up grouped with Smart Content again. Even going through Workspace and reloading the City Limits Lite layout doesn't work.  Very frustrating!

Can someone help me please?

Theer are two things you can drag - the tab, which moves the pane within or between pane groups, or the top bar of the pane group, which can be used to dock the  group itself. Presumably you are dragging the tab, instead drag the top edge of the frame around the pane and when you see a line in the highlight colour showing where you want it docked (at the top of the centre pane area, presumably, for this) drop it. I'm not at all sure what could stop reloading the layout from working.

Haha, so simple and obvious!  Thanks so much, it's back where it belongs now :).
