Windows
Each manager has its own window. You can place windows freely or dock them into CINEMA 4D’s
main window. In the default layout, most managers are docked. If you change the size of a docked
window, the surrounding windows are resized automatically.
To undock a window, click on its pin icon and choose Undock. To re-dock the window, drag-and-
drop its pin icon onto the main window. A black line will indicate the insertion position. To change
a window’s size, rst move the mouse pointer to its border; the pointer will change into a double
arrow to indicate the direction (either vertical or horizontal) in which you can drag the border. Drag
the window as required. The other windows in the group will adapt to the change.
Menu bars
Each manager has a local menu bar. Menu bars have the following features:
 Submenus.
 Commands that cannot be chosen are grayed out.
 Enabled options are indicated with a check mark.
 All shortcuts, including any you have dened yourself, are shown to the right
of the menu option.
If there is not enough space to display the full menu bar, a black triangle is shown. Click the triangle
to reveal the remaining menu entries.
