noob questions

Hi All,

I've finally got my layout mapped and started the conversion from LOR and have been able to see the whole house preview work with my imported sequence.  I just have a couple questions to see if anyone can help me.  Is there a way to make the models transparent when they are off?  I have several models in front of others and currently the house preview screen shows them as black when they are off which makes it very hard, if not impossible, to see the display elements behind them when those models come on/off.  Also, is there a way to get the house preview full screen without a second monitor?  Thanks for any help.

well I figured out half my question...lol.  Model appearance > black transparency > set to 100 to get it transparent...DOH  .  But still trying to find out how to do house view full screen.

You can grab the top bar of your whole house preview and move it from its docked position to the middle of your screen hold down the Ctrl key to keep it from docking anywhere else. From there you should be able to grab the corners and stretch it out to fill your screen. I highly recommend taking advantage of dual monitors if you can.
