Am I correct in that it is not possible to render an orthographhic (architectural) view...i.e. no perspective...like a front elevation of a building, but have to simulate that with the camera being very far away and a very long camera lens? I know this has been the case in the past, but just wondering if I've missed something. Joe

If you are using Studio you can... whatever plugin you may be using may not.

I'm not very familiar with Studio (have only used the plugins), can someone point out how to set that up an orthographic view in Studio?

1) Make a new camera.
2) Set the viewport to that new camera.
3) Set it (under Camera Parameters>Type>Projection) from 3D to whatever orthographic view you desire.
