Rendering apps can't do surfaces?

Hi everyone. So far, I've tried Clara:IO, OneRender, and RealityServer as rendering apps. None of them show surfaces. This is kind of hugely disappointing to me. What am I missing?

I think this is all related together in sort of a capitalistic way. There has to be upside for the partners to develop, support and improve their apps. In order for that environment to happen, onshape has to have a large user base.
Until the massive holes in missing functionality are filled, it will be difficult for the onshape user base to grow to the point where it can provide incentive for 3rd party app developers.
I really like and support onshape. I hope it will grow into a massive power-house in the CAD industry. When that happens, tons of amazing apps will be available. Hopefully onshape will acquire some of the apps or license the technology and completely integrate the functionality without a 3rd party.
