Maxwell Render | Official public forum

The plugin is exporting hidden bodies and lights from the scene... how do I stop this? It's unchecked in the export options of the scene manager. I'm sure I've sorted this out before numerous times but I'm having a bit of a mind block and can't find what to untick.

Thanks.

Will,

Sometimes it exports hidden things sometimes it doesnt. What I do is just delete the bodies before export. Solidworks keeps the delete as a feature so you can always get them back. As for the lights there is an checkbox in options to use sw lights or something along that line. Make sure that is unchecked. I believe its checked by default.

OK thanks. If I'm going to delete them though I might as well do it in Maxwell.

I will have to check, but it may be that the plugin is not looking at the hidden/supressed states for lights. As to bodies, they should not export if hidden/suppressed, but there may always be some special case that I'm not covering properly, so if you can send a simple example file (jeremy at nextlimit dot com) that shows what you mean, I'll take a look and see what's going on.
