is there a simple way to do this? I've had a look through the settings but AFAICT you have to manually set the resolution in the camera 'Film' settings.

Hi - if you do a Photorender using the OctaneRender renderer, the resolution should automatically match.

thanks for the reply.

how about with the pop up render window? i usually use this window while working - should i be using the main render window?

Hi

The OctaneRender Viewport (ie. NOT the Photorendered) cannot access the Photorenderer setting (like resolution), since the ArchiCAD SDK isolates the Photorenderer functions from the rest of the API. So I don't think this would be possible.

Thanks

is there a way to select which render pass to view with the Photorender viewport (F9 render)?

using the Octane viewport i can't quickly copy paste the rendered images and need to save/import.

using the AC viewport i can copy/paste the renders but looks like i can't select render pass?

You could try enabling "Scene Refresh on View Change" in the plugin settings (hover the mouse for the tooltip), and then opening the Viewport and select a render pass then open the Photorenderer.
