Can't change individual Maya viewports

[drpasty]

This has to be an issue so basic that I'm overlooking the solution... but I'm new to maya an desperately need some help! I'm not sure what I did to cause this, but three of my viewports in Maya 2011 seem to be linked...I can't change one without causing the other two to follow suit. How do I make it so that I can control individual ports without affecting the others??

I appreciate any help that I can get!!

I do. this is maya not max if you say viewport is top then that means its the camera named top. All viewports that share name top have the same view on account them being the same camera object. If you want twio separate top opr persp or whatever views you must create one more camera.

select: panels -> perspective -> new or panels -> orthographic -> new -> whatever
