- The Maximum value of the Power of Image maps for Bump maps is now 10
- You can now disconnect the Medium from the Environment Medium pin
- Added new authentication settings window which can be used to activate, and de-activate the plugin
- Changed the default path to user settings from C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\OctaneRender for Revit (ie. the Local folder) to C:\Users\[usename]\AppData\Roaming\OctaneRender for Revit (ie. the Roaming folder). This has been done to assist users who login on a network. This only applied when there are no settings found in the Local folder (ie. all new installations will use the Roaming folder). Existing users can leave their settings in the Local folder, or copy them into the Roaming folder - the plugin will work the same way regardless.
- Fixed a bug where materials were not being saved correctly when there were Linked Revit files in the scene. IMPORTANT: This change required re-writing the functions which load and save Octane data to the .rvt file - so pls test this carefully. Make a back of your .rvt files prior to using this version of the plugin with them until you are confident that everything is working correctly.
3.0.20.40 (26-May-2016)
- Compiled with Octane 3.0 (3.0.20)

- Username and password is now not entered or stored in the authentication panel
- Visible Environment pin added to the Rendertarget
3.0.6.38
- Compiled with Octane 3.0 alpha 6. Note the minimum Nvidia driver required is 353
3.0.3.38
- Compiled with Octane 3.0 alpha 3
- Fixed issue where refreshing the Viewport after changing a proxy was causing a Exception. You can now no longer refresh the scene whilst the Geometry Proxy Details dialog is open.
- When adding a family instance to the scene which has a proxy default, the "Is A Proxy" button will now be set correctly, however the material will still not be available for editing until the Viewport is next opened or the scene is Refreshed
3.0.1.37
- Compiled with Octane 3.0 alpha 2
- Added Baking Camera. All geometry in the scene will have the same baking group ID, so this function will be of limited use to Revit users.

3.0.0.36

* If your default rendertarget has Render Passes->Info After Beauty ticked, I suggest unticking it and re-saving your default rendertarget
KNOWN ISSUE: If you pause rendering, change an Octane setting, then continue rendering, the Viewport will freeze (and you will need to refresh the scene to restart the Viewport). This will hopefully be fixed by Otoy in the next release of the API.
2.24.2.35
- Compiled with Octane 2.24.2
- Fixed issue where loading an IFC file would raise an exception. Because Revit triggers a "New Scene" event when loading an IFC file, load an IFC file will cause the Octane Viewport and Setup windows to close
2.24.1.34
- Compiled with Octane 2.24.1
- Added option to Paste the Octane camera from the Windows clipboard. This will allow the pasting of a camera from Phantom Photo Match. Pasting is only allowed when the Viewport is open, and Viewport Navigation is enabled.
