Photoworks 2007

If someone would be good enough to have a little patience with a
novice at Photoworks, life would be good.
I am using Solidworks 2007, just starting to experiment with
Photoworks, and my question is this. At one time, not more than a
couple of days ago, when I imported a model into my viewing screen to
start a render, when I went to the scene editor, room, background,
materials , etc, as I was making adjustments, I saw the results of
those adjustments happening on my model. It is evident I had a
preview toggled on somewhere, and now for the life of me I cannot find
the option, and have this condition happen again. I usually start by
selecting scene, then floor to select a glossy color, etc, then
proceed to environment, background, lighting, etc to make my
selections. I would like to see the changes that my selections make
on my model as it is happening.
I await a response with many thanks.

Did you by chance have "Interactive Rendering" enabled under the Photoworks
pulldown?

Eddy,
I must have. Now I really feel like an idiot, and much worse...I
deserve it.

Thank you, I appreciate your response and your solution to my self
inflicted problem.

Erika, you're welcome and it's no problem at all... nothing to feel shy
about. There are too many places and ways for users to trap themselves in
Solidworks. The interface changes with every release, etc. Albeit
interactive rendering has been around for awhile the rest of Photoworks'
interface has been up for grabs. There was no guarantee it was going to be
where I thought it was. I checked to make sure
