I have a question on the syntax of Octane render layers in Lightwave. We set up a scene with 3 Octane render layers in it. For this one render we only want to render layers 1 and 3, and not render layer 2. What would we type into the layer to render input box? The example in the manual shows 1-999 in the input box. That is fine if you want to render the whole scene. But what if we have 5 layers and want to only render layers 1, 2, and 5. How would we tell Octane not to render layers 3 and 4? I would imagine something like: 1-2,5 We tried using commas but it renders all 3 frames in our scene. Any info would be much appreciated!
Thank you.

You are right, sorry. There is a bug in the plugin. The render layers syntax doesn't work properly.
It is fixed now in my internal build, so if you need this feature, please let me know, along with your LightWave version, and I can send you a custom build with the problem fixed.
Thanks for reporting!

Thanks for looking into this, Juanagon. With the layers fixed, we will be a bit more
efficient rendering, as the less layers rendered the more time saved. We are running Lightwave 2015.3. Thank you,
