V-Ray for Revit Swarm default settings

[gregfrancis]

Is there a way to change the defaults for the Swarm settings in V-Ray for Revit? I would like it to default to Broadcast and having the "V-Ray Swarm Enabled" checked under the "Render with V-Ray" icon as well as setting the default usage to 100%. Is there any way to do this? I tried to export the settings to XML but there doesn't seem to be any settings related to Swarm in the resulting XML file.

Hi gregfrancis,
Currently it is not possible to change the defaults for Swarm. The settings are stored per project. So once you save your Revit project along with the preferred Swarm settings, they will remain set for this particular project.
If you open your project on another machine, you will be able to load materials, environment and camera settings from the XML file; Swarm settings however will have to be set up manually.

Regards,
Ana

Thanks for the info Ana. I think it would be nice to set the defaults for Swarm within Revit and that that could be added to the development roadmap at some point. It's frustrating to have to reset all of the defaults every time I go in to work with it and it would make it much easier when I'm setting up V-Ray for Revit on workstations, that I could just import the default settings.
