To deactivate CineRender add-on?

Since I use Octane the CineRender is not of much use for me but still eats up around 70 MB of memory for nothing.

Thanks,

I just tested on Mac OS X ... presumably Windows will behave similarly...

If I simply rename the CineRender folder (inside the ArchiCAD 18 app folder) - then CineRender does not launch. Attempting to use it will give odd results. E.g., the render settings preview window just spins indefinitely - but using Internal or Sketch behave as expected.

70 MB of memory is absolutely nothing these days though - cannot have any meaningful impact on your computer whatsoever.

Yes, you're right, after all it's not a big deal..
It takes renaming not only CineRender folder but there are three files in Add-Ons/Visualization folder as well.

Thank you.
