Just came across this and I got Jealous.

I also use Rhino for form/lighting studies and love the dockable menu & drag & drop materials although I understand that the rhino mat system plays nicer with octane)

Any ideas/plans to improve the Revit Plugin interface?

The current Settings tree is built directly from the info supplied by the Octane API - so as Otoy add/remove/change pins on the nodes, the Settings tree automatically picks up those changes. If instead the Settings window was a Form (as per that link), all the pin names, types, min, max, etc are hard-coded - so it becomes a substantial task to maintain the form each new Octane release, and human error introduces the possibility of bugs each new release.

As for the dragging of Materials onto geometry (as per Rhino) - this would be great, but unfortunately this is not supported by Revit....which does not recognise drag and drop of Materials into the preview viewport.
