Is it possible that you have locked it to a different camera than the one being used in the viewport?

If not, can you provide a list of steps, beginning at Rhino startup, by which I can reproduce the issue? Also, which version of Rhino are you using?

i use rhino v4 and latest rhino v5 wip - it doesnt work in both of them.
1. open rhino
2. draw box
3. start fire (on perpective vieport)
4. lock fire

fire autorefresh when I change sun (time of day and position) in maxwell scene setup
fire autorefresh when I change material properties (except displacement - I got to change something else in base material layer - then it refresh with displacement added)

but it doesn't autorefresh when i rotate camera.

What changes if you skip step 4?

Thanks for sending, but both of the files work fine here. All I can think of at this point is to make sure that you understand that when you lock the Fire window to a camera, it locks based on the camera's name. So, for example, if you lock it, then switch your viewport to use a different named view, the Fire window will no longer be tracking the camera for that viewport, since it is locked on a different camera.
