MAXWELL V4 for Sketchup BATCH RENDERING HELP!!

Hi folks, I understand that this forum is for V-Ray questions only but there doesn't seem to be any posts regarding the MAXWELL VERSION 4plugin for Sketchup?

I really need to find out how to batch render a series of 20 scenes I have set up on sketchup for 2 hours each using the maxwell version 4 plugin. I would imagine it could be similar to v-ray. But I am not sure. I am using a imac i5 and Sketchup pro 2016.

Does Maxwell for SketchUp even do batch rendering? Doesn't it have a command line interface?

Rich, definitely a command dialogue interface..

I am a newbie to rendering so forgive my naivety.

OK So I went to the official maxwell forums and found out that the easiest way to automate a series of renderings through the maxwell software is via a simple script..

Point 5 on http://support.nextlimit.com/display/mxdocsv3/SketchUp+FAQs?_ga=1.169530145.1813411637.1480071096

Script is pasted into the script dialogue box and let to run.. Hey presto! I can't believe I stayed awake all night to manually start each render!
