I have a func_smokevolume in the sewers yet theyre being drawn when youre above ground, it hurts performance, is there a way to prevent this?

Two ideas spring to mind:

1. Make sure that there isn't truly vis from ground level to the smoke.

2. Look into occluders. They might prevent func_smokevolume ents from being rendered.
