Hmm, it should change.
I noticed that, in some cases, it requires a change in the material to trigger the update.
I guess the auto-update option is active (Rhino's right-click menu > thumbnails > Auto-Update Preview), otherwise, it would show the orange triangle at the corner...

Does it happen in every case? No Maxwell preview at all?

Best,
Fernando

Achim, does the preview never update in your case? Or maybe it just gets stuck in some cases?

Hi Fernando, no it actually never works and never updates correctly.

Have you set Maxwell as the current renderer? I'm sorry if it sounds too basic, but that could be a reason for it not updating.
