How to perform queued renders over night, including spot renders within certain scenes?

I have twenty seven DAZ scene files ready to render, some requiring spot renders only. I want to render them overnight, how would I setup a render queue so I can just go to sleep? BUT, that can also accomodate spot renders; using the spot render tool, within 13 of the scenes, automatically? I understand this is a more advanced feature you'd find in a pro 3D application, but I think DAZ has matured into a professional product, so naturally this functionality should exist in some form.  

I know about Manfriday's Render Queue, but am hoping this functionality now exists within DAZ Studio 4.15 somewhere. 

Even Poser 11 Pro has this functionality. (Are you telling me that archaic versions of poser can do this basic task, but DAZ studio can't? No way, I find that hard to believe. It's impossible. It's inconceivable.)

    No, it doesn't.

    I ended up using Iray Section Node's to just remove as much of the scene as possible, until the only part I want rendered is visible.

    Here is a tutorial on how to use Iray Section Node: 

    If anyone knows a way to somehow save a spot render location, then put DAZ into a spot render ONLY mode, that could work too, but would probably require scripting. I'd love to make a suggestion to DAZ, but it takes sooo god damn long to fill out the form, just to submit an idea to DAZ. It's extremely annoying.

    I'm going to look into Iray Server, but it seems like a massive headache and it's expensive too; all that work, just for functionality that should've been added 10 years ago? Seems overkill.

    Render Doctor is the closest to being able to do what you want - https://www.daz3d.com/render-doctor - but wont do spot renders for you.

     

    If you found the previous setup useful for only rendering certain parts of the scene then you can you that technique with the capabilities of Render Doctor
