Saving LightWorks Rendering Engine Settings

Anonymous
Not applicable
Having done a quick search about saving rendering settings I've found a few rather manual methods to save Sketch settings (using the text document SketchTextures.txt) but that was quite a few years ago now. I understand saving a view in the navigator might do the trick too?

I am using AC15 and am wondering if there has been an improvement on saving rendering settings in these recent versions of AC, especially with the LightWorks Rendering Engine.

Why I want this at the moment is because I want to quickly switch between a quick low res draft render and a more extensive final render for many images of the project. This involves changing the size of the render, resolution, quality options and occasionally even the background options (adding a sky behind).

Thanks for your help!
Anyone have some 2012 breakthroughs?

If you are using the LightWorks engine, then the rendering settings can be saved as part of a View.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
