Skechup > Octane - camera control

Hi - I'm very noob and have a hard time.

I try to figuere out how to control the camera in Octane.

I export the OBJ model and view from Sketchup, using TIGs script.

When I export it get the view like in SU, but as soon as I touch the renderview, the model disappears and I can't find it again. And if i use "reset camera view to default" is does not have the same FOV like the original view.

I thought that the exported view/camera in SU got exported to Octane, but I seems I can't find a camera in Octane?

And is it possible to add more cameras in otane? I figured out that I can rightclick in Graph Editor, and add a camera - but then what?

As you see I'm very noob (and a old one) :-(( some very basic getting started tutorials would be nice :-)

Regarding the camera control: Sketchup often exports the camera view with the camera target position way behind the scene. Use the camera target picker before navigating with the camera.
