No idea how you use it (or if you even need to).

See image for description from Work Environment setup.

Once or twice when opening an older file, I've had the Library Manager report a surface bitmap as a missing attribute, but that bitmap was no longer being used in any of the current Surfaces. This usually means Cinerender is still looking for an older bitmap. In the past these ghost attributes were nearly impossible to track down. Check Surfaces searches for "parameters of unused rendering engine(s)" and offers to delete them for you.
