Having trouble with Fire and Volumetric objects in Studio

Hi,
Working in Studio, I'm having trouble using Fire for volumetric objects. (Fire works fine for Library objects such as a cube) I create a "constant" volumetric object and assign the default "custom" material and then start Fire. I do not see anything in the Fire viewport but it renders as expected in Maxwell. Sometimes, I can see one or two gray horizontal bands if I move/pan around using the Alt-left mouse button. If I zoom in close I see more gray bands and then if I zoom inside the cube, I see solid gray in the viewport. I've played around with settings, scale etc. but can't get it to work... any suggestions.

Thanks,
Mike

Do you have the latest version from the early builds page installed?
