Want to be able to see planting and entourage as a simple transparent underlay to the view. Not that the geometry itself is transparent (hence seeing backfaces) but that it becomes a transparent layer in the view…
Other viable option is that it gets exported as a separate layer for masking.
Thanks a lot for that feature request. 
May I ask what your use case would be for this before I’ll file it as such? Just so I can also add it as feedback to the topic.
I was producing a perspectival image where the tree was the central figure of the image but it was blocking the view of the architecture. In reality, I wouldn’t mind it being “blocked” but since we’re working with illusions there’s a moment where the textured 3d model of the plant, when in focus, actually becomes a distraction. We start staring at all the leaves and the colors, and the way the light hits it, and before we know it we’ve lost our attention in a simulated effect and need to force our mind on the real focus: the architecture.I want “volume control” on the planting without eliminating the planting or having to change the species type.
@mattendler and @Gadget_1 , thanks a lot for the further feedback. I’ll add it to our agenda!

This would be great for those clients that want all the plantings and greenery, but need to be able to see the architecture too.
