I sent two models over using http://www.renderplus.com/wp2/uploads/ . My models take forever to render and its causing me to miss deadlines. Im using sketchup2014 a small renders with 10 passes akes more than an hour thats when im just testing it and for large renders with 40 passes 15hours without exaggeration. plz help!!!!

If you use the Light/Edit Query dialog to find the lights that are marked as materials with illuminance set, you can select one of those entries and then click on Edit to bring up the Edit Material dialog for that material.
Then you can simply set the illuminance Wattage setting to zero and click OK. If you then click on Refresh on the Edit/Query dialog, it should show fewer light sources in the model. Repeat that for each unique "Material Illuminance" light shown.
how to do get rid of that?
No, I saw several in the smaller model that you sent. I cannot look at the larger model now, since it is still busy saving the data for the rendering.
Here is part of what I saw in the Lights Query dialog for the smaller model. There was at least one other material that had illuminance set. Try running the Light Edit/Edit function and take a look.
The Materials are actually set to glow for the signs actually. I dont think I added a setting "Illuminance
Probably the biggest problem with the models that you sent us is that you have set materials to be light sources for the signs. Making a material a light (setting illuminance) can add many light source to the model and really slow the rendering process down.
Try setting the materials for those signs to "Glow", instead of having "Illuminance", and see if that works for you.
If you need a sign to actually be a light, so that it is bright enough, try making the sign component a single light source, instead of making the materials in the sign all lights sources.
Does all that make sense?
It is unlikely that we will find a "magic bullet" to speed this up.
Basically you have to try to make your geometry less complex.
Here are 10 tip we offer.
See if any of them can help you:
