Hi! I'm by no means an expert, but I've cobbled together a rendering macro. When run, it exports .bmps of all configurations and named views of a part or assembly to a chosen folder.

The issue is, when I have a decently complex part or assembly, it sometimes just renders empty screens. You'll see that it has a pause in it to give everything a chance to build, but even when I extend that pause to a very long time, it will still occasionally give me an empty screen. It seems to be a little random which configurations fail to export.

Here's the relevant section of code, and the macro in its entirety is attached:
