Rendering is not working.
Rendering is not working in my Solidworks 2015? What should I do? I have seen many tutorials but it is not working.

Hello Ibrahim,
Common reasons why Photoview360 doesn't 'work':
1. The add-in is not switched on.
Go to Tools > Add-ins, and check the box in the left column.
2. The Preview window only comes up for a brief moment, and then disappears.
Check if Bonjour (version 3.0.0.10) is installed on your PC. If not, try installing it from the installation files. It can be found in the Prereqs/Bonjour folder.
3. Something is generally wrong with the installation of SolidWorks.
Repair the installation using the Installation Manager. You can do this via RMB on the windows logo > Apps and features > SOLIDWORKS 20XX > Modify > Repair Installation.
(If you choose Modify instead of repair, you can check in the Summary > ...to install, whether you have PV360 actually installed or not and if available, install it there)
4. Your SolidWorks version does not have PV360 included.
Check if you have SolidWorks Professional or Premium. If not, you're out of luck.
5. You did not take KB3072630 into account when installing SW2015.
Please check solidworks.com/sw/support/techkb3072630.htm and follow the steps. Everything regarding this windows update (that broke 2015 SP4 and older) and its fix is neatly described in that webaddress.
Otherwise, we need more details about precisely where it stops working. Preferably with screenshots.
