Export default settings

Hi Jeremy
Is there a simple way to export the default settings for all the tabs in the maxwell scene manager from one computer to another?
I mean, is it stored in a file? Or where is it stored?
Thanks, Christoph

Defaults are indeed stored in files, using one file per tab. When you have a tab open, and you use Presets > Defaults > Store Current, a file is written for that tab, here:
  • C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\MaxwellDotNET\Plugins\Common\Defaults
If new defaults are never stored for a tab, no such file for that tab will exist. This is the case for all but the Options tab, whose settings are stored nearby:
  • C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\MaxwellDotNET\Plugins\Rhino\Defaults\UserPrefs.Rhino4.xml
This file is written to at random times as you are using the plugin; there will be one file here for Rhino 4, and one for Rhino 5.
