HI,

Is it possible to access the Local DB ? I can only import one orbx at the time with octane.importLocalDb.

And how to save materials back in to the Local DB ?

Yes, you can only import one LocalDb material at a time. I am in the process of implementing the Octane Standalone Local Db window i the plugins I support, so this limitation may be lifted in the future.
And how to save materials back in to the Local DB ?
Use the octane.exportMaterial command, and save the ORBX to the LoclDb folder. Or you can copy and paste the Octane Override (via the Copy Material button) from Modo into Octane Standalone and save to the LocalDb there. Yes, I agree this is not great workflow, and it's something I am planning to fix in the future.

Thanks
