Changing FBX Camera settings

I imported an FBX camera that I exported from Unreal to Octane Standalone. How do I change parameters like focus plane or aperture on the imported cameras?

Octane has its camera settings on the rendertarget you are using to render. The camera node on your active rendertarget should have aperture and focus plane.

Once you bring in an fbx camera and pipe that to the render target all the options for the camera disappears. I found a way by using a lua script in a script node to pull the position and the focal length of the camera and feed that to the position of a thin lens camera node and pipe that into the render target. It's a really janky workaround though.
