    Modeling and CAD generally require up to 4 monitors.

    1. App
    2. App submenus and subwindows
    3. Redlines/markups/notes
    4. Optional. Emails, file browsing, screen share, manuals.

    Though I’d say working with complicated apps regularly will give you a mental illness, so fair.

      I don’t do modeling or anything, but don’t workspaces (virtual desktops) work better? Mostly to avoid moving your head so much around 4 screens. I would think so anyway but i dunno

        I work with redlines and you need to have them open on another screen while you’re making edits unless you like torturing yourself.

        You can print out redlines and look at pen and paper markups which works great but it has negatives like printing a set of 20 page 22x34 drawings can be costly to plot and annoying to go through sheet by sheet
