Camera

The Camera section has two distinct uses:

  • Filter instances not visible by the camera or far away from it, using Exclude non-visible and Distance clipping.

  • The selected camera position is also used by LODs to determine when to switch from one LOD to the next.

Scene camera

The current view is used by default. But since its position changes every time you move in the SketchUp viewport, you probably want to select a scene whose Camera Location will be used.

Exclude non-visible

Discards instances that are not in the camera's field of view. This is particularly useful to boost performance by preventing the generation of instances that will not be visible by the render camera anyway.

Distance clipping

Discards instances that are far away from the camera. This is particularly useful to boost performance by preventing the generation of instances that are too far away from the render camera to be visible.
