I assume you are doing it like this...
union {
// Scene
clipped_by {...}
}
It seems like povray is not splitting the union in this case (you can see
only 1 frame level object), so it needs to intersect every object in the
scene instead of using the bounding hierarchy. I don't know of an easy
workaround in the scene file (except applying the clipped_by to every
object individually)

Andrew,
Thanks for this, yes I am implementing in a union.
All I really need is to be able to define a near and a far vertical clipping
plane at fixed distances from the camera (OpenGL style).
Seems like there ought to be an easy way to do this - but not found it yet.
Nick.
