Frustrated Again

Hi Yah,
I'm so trying hard to get this thing to work for me but not finding it the easiest of software to use, and I'm quite good with learning this kind of thing.
Export .max model to obj transfer to Linux box where blender & octane are. Pull obj into Blender to check it hit 3d view & model is there with a small amount of tweaking to get correct view. Import model into Octane (default units metres) mesh pulls in but for the love of me I can't find it in the render view no matter how often I zoom in, zoom out, centre view, reset default view etc etc. The render view is doing it's thing rendering away - why oh why isn't there a zoom all, zoom extents or the software automatically zooms in on the imported model or why can't we simply choose the camera view that was exported with the model?
Going to spend a bit more time on this simple model tomorrow & if no joy I'm just going to have to revert back to Maxwell Render & Windows which I was so hoping to get away from.
