I love that I can set up scenes in SU with different times, section cuts, etc that are easily rendered out as a batch. Very cool feature. However, I’ve found that if I render out a _batch_ of images, the section enabled on the _first_ one will be persistent and overrides all subsequent scene settings in the batch. (Hoping this explanation makes sense) So now, I have to manually select eny scenes with sections and render them individually. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

No, as far as I am aware sections are not yet supported in batch rendering. I usually only render perspectives as a batch and ONLY render sections one by one after switching to parallel projection. I turn on camera sync on so the enscape view matched the sketchup one with the section, then unsync again before rendering - not sure why but this worked for me to render sections.

Have had the same issue - assumed it was a shortcoming of the software. Would be a cool fix to get!

Thanks. I’ve come to the same workaround. Sure slows down my previous workflow!
