Use SketchUp Transparency for Renderings

Fully Integrated into SketchUp

IRender nXt is fully integrated into SketchUp

This means that the IRender settings are stored in the SketchUp model, so you do not have to make changes if you reload the model, or for subsequent renderings of the same model.

Rendering settings and rendering functions are all available from a SketchUp toolbar.
