Probably been asked for multiple times.
Insead of a 'yes' or 'no' for how far away the cliping plane will try and render things, how bout a slide bar to select the distance you can see? Even when you have it set to not try and render things far away, it's still rendering many many things you really don't care about. If I'm in a club, I don't want the house party go'n on next door to possibly effect the performance of my system. And I certainly don't want stuff at that house streaming to me when I am not giong to see it or anyone over there.
If a slider isn't a possibility for selecting how far away the clipping goes, how bout some additional options for cliping such as:
Clip as far as the eye can see.
Clip at 1 or 2 zones away from this one.
Clip only this zone.
Clip only this property.
Possible? Maybe not. More options for this would be nice though. For people with good connections and higher end machines, they could leave the top otions on and go! Option 2 would allow yout o be able to travle and still see stuff coming up with out too many problems. Option one if you want to see as far as only the stuff in the immediate area. And the last option if yoru system is a bit slow or your connection isn't the best, and you really only care to have things update or be seen in the specific property your'e in.
