Octane for 3dsmax

The Add Octane Preset Helper option creates a scene object that can store custom preset configurations to the Octane Preference (Figure 1).

Preset configurations can be copied back and forth to the Octane Preset object from the Copy button (figure 2).

A scene can contain multiple presets which can be accessed from the Preset menu in the Octane Preferences window (figure 3).

Presets are stored internally to the 3ds max file where the Storage Type is set to Embedded. Presets can be saved to an external file where they can be accessed by other 3ds max scene files by setting the Storage Type to External File and then right-clicking on the Browse Config File... button (figure 4).
