10/15/2018, 6:58 PMThank you @Ruckus, I have never worked with bindings before (I'm quite new!) so this was an experience for me. I was able to dynamically change the preferred height to match the stage height (vgrow constraint was giving me animation issues) using
prefHeightProperty().bind(primaryStage.heightProperty())👍 1

10/15/2018, 6:59 PM@carlw I am curious about smartResize, though. I recall reading about it in the documentation but thought it was only for table layouts? I'll have to check again!

10/15/2018, 7:04 PMI've only really looked at JavaFX before for 3D work, so all its 2d capabilities are still there for me to discover 😛 Now I'm thinking about TornadoFX including JavaFX 3D capabilities and developing an entire 3D program with TornadoFX, like some CAD work. I can dream!
