3 viewports in a row - is this possible

There are almost all variations of viewport layouts available which one can do with 2, 3 or 4 viewports. Beside one: there is no preset for 3 viewports in a row. It is possible to take the layout with 1 big and 3 small viewports underneath and move the borders. But it would be better if there would be a preset for 3 in a row. Does anyone have an idea? As I have 3 monitors side by side (yes I know, it is decadent) it would be fine to use all of them.

Update: More than two years later in Max 2021  the preset for 3 viewports in a row for a 3 monitor setup isnn´t available yet. I don´t how long it is possible in AutoCAD, but I think at least since the first Windows version (stone age, I know). Would be interesting to know, how others, who also have 3 monitors work with it.

Doesn't the floating viewport works for you?

Ha, didn´t know this new feature, which was (according to the internet) introduced with Versin 2020.1. I came from 2019. And I searched of course in the help of 2021 if there is a new feature regarding the viewports. This one I didn´t find because I didn´t look for the word "float". But in the end I find that this new feature don´t give me extra space because each floating viewport has its own titlebar. These consumes as much space as my configuration with the minimized viewport on the buttom, which is stretched over the three monitors, But, nevertheless, thank you for this hint!

Oh, no. I was wrong. I can drag these floating window out of the Max-WIndow. This is good. As I use Display Fusion for multi monitor setup I can use the Max main window on the left and middle monitor (because of my custumised toolbar setup) and use the right monitor a great preview screen. This is nice!
