How do we change the default LumenRT save path from C Drive -> users -> documents -> Bentley etc?
I moved my documents folder to my D Drive (3TB) as my C Drive is a 256GB SSD. Our average LumenRT file is 2-4GB, but LumenRT is still saving to the old scenes folder on the C Drive!
Could not find the option in any of the settings - Please help as moving files is a pain (the recent files list can't find them once moved).

Hi Max,
There are two ways to do this:
1. Re-install LumenRT and specify a new documents path
2. Carefully edit the document path line in the LumenRT 2016.reg file located at:
"C:\ProgramData\e-onsoftware\LumenRT 2016.reg"
Make sure you only change the path characters and do not delete any special end of line characters:

This folder can be configured during installation of LumenRT (the setting is named "personal collections", see attached image).If you do not want to reinstall LumenRT, you can use a text editor to edit the configuration file located here:"C:\ProgramData\e-onsoftware\LumenRT 2016.reg"I recommend making a backup copy of the file before editing it.You should find a line like this:DocumentPath:C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Bentley\Bentley LumenRT CONNECT EditionPlease change the path so that it points to the desired location.

This worked perfectly, many thanks David!
Hi Max
You can do this by carefully editing the "C:\ProgramData\e-onsoftware\LumenRT 2016.reg" file
Change that path to your folder on drive D:
I am having a similar issue. The program was intstalled by our IT group and defaulted to a different user profile and is causing issues. If the files are moved to a different folder and the "C:\ProgramData\e-onsoftware\LumenRT 2016.reg" file is revised to browse to the new folder, do you lose any file links? In other words, the file was created in OpenROads/OpenBridge does it break the links to ORD/OBM? Using Version 10.16. Still using ORD/OBM and Lumen Rt to make changes to file and want to still be able to do that.
