					Hi, is there a way to render with a completely white background? Wanting to render screenshots for a manual and client has requested pure white background to the images.
Cheers.

					Usually, people render alphas and/or do a lot of post work on such images -- not just in rendering, but in general. Are you using the standalone plugin, or Maxwell Render Suite?

					Standalone plugin within sketchup, I don't have the full render suite. Is there anyway of doing it?

					Only Maxwell Render Suite has support for rendering channels (alpha, material ID, etc), but 
here is a post showing a trick that might help you create an alpha using the standalone plugin. The author is using it to replace the sky, but you should be able to use it to cut out the whole background.
