Plop-Render On/Off

If you've begun rendering your image, you can use the Plop-Render controls to render specific areas of your image. You can use this mode to quickly see the results of repositioning and transformation operations.

Plop-Render mode is enabled by default but can be turned off using the Display palette.

To enable/disable Plop-Render mode, click the Plop-Render On/Off toggle in the Display palette. When the small rectangle inside the icon (which represents an active Plop-Render tool) is red, Plop-Render mode is on. When it is white, the mode is off.

To render an area of your scene:

1. Make sure Plop-Render mode is enabled.
2. Begin rendering your scene by clicking the Render All button in the Render controls.
   
   
3. Pause rendering by clicking the Render All button again or clicking in the working window.
4. Drag a marquee around an area of your image. The selection is outlined in a thin white line and is separated from the rest of the image by a drop shadow. A series of buttons appear beside the marquee selection.
5. Click the top button that appears beside the selection, this is the Clear and Render button. You can interrupt the rendering by clicking the mouse.
   
   
6. To resume a render, click the second button (Resume Render) that appears beside the selection.
