I'm trying to render a scene in which I am using a ground plane in my scene to avoid illumination from under the scene, but don't want it rendered in my scene!

Has the process for hiding this in 1.7.1 changed? Previously I would just select the object and in Object Parameters select "Hide From Camera"!!

This workflow no longer seems to work!

Am I simply missing the obvious?

You're probably doing preview renders? Currently hidden to camera is not working with RS0 which is the preview engine.

I wished that were the case Mihai! Didn't hide it when rendered out either!

Seems Mihai it is an intermittent issue I'm having! Works sometimes!!

It may be an issue with MXCL still writing an older tmp file and not the most recently changed one. If when clicking the render button you get a very short 'exporting objects' dialog box, that can be an indication.
