Maybe everyone else realizes this but thought I would point out for anyone that doesn't. With the House Preview in the Sequencer tab, you can still choose to see only a model group at a time (versus the actual whole house). Go to Preview tab, select the model group you want to see, and then go back to the Sequencer tab and the House Preview will only display that model group.
This is great if you want to focus on certain parts of your show. Let's say you have some mini trees that you want to be in time with the bass beat. You create a mini tree group in Preview, select it, then go over to Sequence and you will only see the mini trees in House Preview. You can also select just certain models to Sequence by using the eyeball icon next to your model in the Sequence Elements window to turn on and off models for sequencing (after you have added them to the overall sequence). Now focus on the bass beat in the song and sequence that section of your display.
