RFE: Add a Render parameter to SOPs

The Geometry COMP has a Render parameter, and I find it very useful in my scenes, and I like that it’s decoupled from the render flag. However, I also sometimes toggle the render flag on various SOPs in my scenes, and find myself wishing I could control it using expressions the way I can use expressions on the Geo Render parameter.

This is also useful for Geo instancing since you can only instance the SOPs in a Geo, and not Geos in a Geo.

Perhaps just add a Render par to the Null SOP, if not all of them?

Yeah we’ve had the discussion numerous times of making flags parameters so they are easier to work with, not only the render flag. However, we haven’t all always agreed it should be decoupled, we are still considering the effects of that for other flags. Thanks for the input.
