Creating the preset
Each button can contain several presets.
Custom Buttons plug-in allows you to create presets with the following types: Properties of Objects, Tags, Materials, Layers, Render Settings parameters, Document parameters, Viewport parameters, Cinema 4D preferences. As well as presets of objects, tags, materials, layers, render settings (separately multi-pass settings and render effects).
Drag the selected object or parameter into the plug-in window.
If you want to create a new preset based on dropped object or parameter just drop it on to empty space of the window. If you want add object or parameter to existing preset, drop it under preset header, to add to a list objects or parameters.
By default after dropping object or parameter on to the preset list window new preset appears with a name that describes shortly its properties. To change default preset name you can open plug-in window menu Edit > Preferences.
