/3/ - 3DCG

Ah yes...yeah that is annoying, it has no "always float on top" feature. Have fun fiddlin around with the source! Definitely throw up a version on graphicall.org if you ever make a blender version that does what you describe

Yeah, I just double checked, if you save the startup file with the separated windows, they will retain their place even on multiple monitors

it seems like you are trying to break a window out of the existing UI and into a separate one? You do that by clicking the little triangle in the corner and dragging while holding down the shift key, in all of the newer versions of blender. Now it doesn't open up by accessing a menu option that way though, but you could (I think) save the default state of the program so that it boots up in a separate window when you start the program each time. Do you specifically need it to open from a menu option or key command?

Just wondering as I was reading this thread, because I'm just starting to explore the professional world options like maya and 3DS, are there equivalent tools like bsurfaces out there?

I'm not sure if they are already in the interface and didn't know, like I said I've only just started exploring those programs
