saving views in Octane Archicad

Hi Paul,

On page below
http://render.otoy.com/manuals/ArchiCAD/?page_id=245

You can save a copy of the rendertarget in the “Settings” tab of the plugin to an ArchiCAD View. To do this, doubleclick the view in the View Map (it MUST be under the “3D Views” item). Then select “Save Rendertarget to View” in the Additional Options popup in the Settings tab of the plugin.

I just can not figure it out how. All I want to achieve is to have many views in Octane so that I could switch between them. Should I use copy?

Thanks

In the ArchiCAD "Navigator - Project Map" window, rightclick the "Generic Perspective" and "Save Current View" and give it a name. Then when you click the "Navigator - View Map" in ArchiCAD, that view will appear. Then you can open the Octane plugin, doubleclick the view in the "Navigator - View Map", thenplugin Settings tab, Additional Options, Save Rendertarget to View. You will see the rendertarget name at the top of the tree should then be named the same as the ArchiCAD view.
