There is a button under the view tab called render.

you can activate renderer either from :

1. View Control Bar -internal Renderer
2. Ribbon >View Tab - two options Render (internal) and Render in Cloud ( if you have credits)

thanks for the quickie reply. i am privy already to your helpful advise, but my problem is , after i do what you advised,

it gives me a totally black image. it remains like this even if i do adjustments to exposure.

i remember when i downloaded the program yesterday,i saw a 2 second pop-out that says the rendering commands are not activated,

i just kind of disregarded it. now i am into the problem.can you give me some kind thoughts.

thank you very much
