Some of you may already know it, but for those who don't, I want to introduce you to my plugin Layers Panel.

The main reason I'm posting it here is for its render feature that can be very usefull for people doing rendrings inside Sketchup. Here is a short video (Made with Vray but it works the same with Indigo)

Let me know what you think, and if you have ideas for other features.

This plugin is really smart! Thank you!
I haven't tested it yet (BUT I WILL), but may I ask a question?

One of the problems I encountered using layers is that objects which are put in a hidden layer cannot work as referencies for other objects, while simple hidden objects can. Working with Indigo, this is typically the case of dummies:if the complex tree is on a hidden layer the geometry isn't exported so your dummy doesn't get the reference and cannot be substituted; if the complex tree is simply hidden, the dummy works as it would.

Does your plugin allow this kind of trick?

Thank you!

It should, yes. A layer with its teapot active is sent to the renderer. Is that what you're looking for?
