Render Visible Objecgts only

We just downloaded the trial version of your product. We are testing it on a model and noticed it seems to be rendering the objects that are out of view. Is there a way to have it render only what you are seeing on your screen to speed up the process?

If you highlight just the entities that you want to render, that will work. It's a right click option to render the selection.

Otherwise you would have to hide all the other geometry by putting it in a layer that you could turn off.

Note, however, objects which are not visible in SketchUp, may turn out to be visible in the rendering due to reflections, or they may be lights in another room or out of the scene which would effect the scene, or they may be objects which would effect the scene by casting shadows or reflecting light from outside the scene. (That is why we don't try to do this automatically)
