I have been looking for information on how to dock the panels in a layout in the way that Photoshop or Maya panels can snap into a layout position.  I have not been able to locate any information on how to accomplish this.

I want to be able to expand a nested set of panels in a layout by clicking on the maximize window in a “parent” panel so that the “child” panels re-size with it to fit within the full display.  I would also like to drag a “parent” window to a second monitor and have the “child” panels drag with it. I cannot figure out how to do this in MotionBuilder as the panels are always floating freely rather than snapping to adjacent panels.

How can I set panels to snap within a master layout?

Thanks!

you can’t, you might be able to use some kind of window grid snapping tool but there is no way to do it built in.

I and many others have had this issue but you get fast at making layouts and getting it close enough.
