you can move menus over the other monitors and you can stretch the window, so yes.

You cannot move any parts of the main UI across as you can in Poser, but you can move things like the materials and atmosphere editors and leave them open without obscuring your scene window.

I should have set this up this way a long time ago, but until I got my new glasses it was awkward to look at the second monitor in this fashion. I always had Photoshop and other programs on it, but never Vue. Stretching it and making the preview screen really large is very useful and gives me a nice big preview.

Paula,

I'm seriously thinking about getting new glasses just for computer work - that 2 to 4 ft distance is becoming a serious issue now... ;-P.    I set up my screens like you, but I also use the screen setup in the pix above.

The cat is an extra problem to contend with... favorite spot seems to be between me and the keyboard.  I sometimes wonder why... :-)

I have computer glasses and they are a big help. They make some now where the upper part has a longer distance ability so if you look up you can see across a room very well while if you are looking through the middle, the computer screen is in focus.
