      Scene setting question: switching between 4:3 screen and 16:9 screen.

      I normally work on a laptop with 16:9 screen at home and 4:3 screen at office. Each time when I set up the scenes on the laptop then came to the office all the views were shown narrower on 4:3 monitors; later after working on office monitor the narrower views showed on the laptop even I didn’t update any scene setting. But if I did update the scene setting to be satisfied on the 4:3 they would then end up wider on 16:9.

      I hope I explained my question understandable. Anyone please give me suggestions. I'd appreciate it a lot.
      😄

        Scene settings are based on the vertical field of view. Whatever your aspect ratio, the vertical Field of view will be the same. As a result the horizontal field of view is variable.

          I got rid of my docked toolbars quite long ago (and use Jim's custom toolbars plugin). This allows me to size my window according to my needs with a nifty little program called sizer. I have set up two window sizes for SU; one is 4:3 (exactly 1024x768) while the other is 16:9 (1200:675).

          I find it very handy especially with animation export where you have to use either aspect ratio.

              What?
              Are you now converted to "No docked toolbar"?
              😮
              (Note that many suffers from toolbars rearranging the SU Window and this is a very cool way to stop that, too!)
              😉
