You can so a lot with o2c. Other than that, the most that you can ever expect is a "trap door" to another rendering programme. IIRC, DataCad did this with Renderstar many years ago. There is no great benefit in doing this, and it wouldn't surprise me that when RenderStar was around, more people used something else.
I assume it's not in V10, but through versions 8 and 9 DataCad provided Renderise Live as a freebie. DCad exports DXFs of the model for it, not hard to do. If you've got, or can beg, borrow or steal an old DataCad CD, RL can serve you well. I have seen it as a freebie with computer magazines over the years, but not for some time.
