How do I tell GaussView where to find Gaussian?
On Linux, UNIX and Mac OS X systems, you need to add the following files to your .bash_profile initialization file (regardless of your default shell):
export g16root=/path export GAUSS_SCRDIR=/path . $g16root/g09/bsd/g16.profile
GaussView will use these entries to located the Gaussian executables.
How do I specify different isotopes for frequency analysis?
You must define an additional isotopologue. Information here.

Three dimensional scan plots are produced automatically for scans over exactly two variables.
How do I drag and drop files under Windows?
On the Windows platform, files can be added to the current molecule group by dragging them from an Explorer window or other source and dropping them onto a View window. Dragging and dropping with the left mouse button will load the contents of each file and add it to the molecule group.
