					In shaded mode I can see whats in the viewport just fine.  In textured or textured decal it's all dark.  How do I see what the textures look like on the model?  How do I check it for scale?
When I render it, I just see a color for the brick.

					Thanks for the tip.  I have upgraded to version 2 and it works very very well with ArchiCAD 14.  Adding as much of the materials as possible in ArchiCAD helps a lot for beginners like me.
How to apply the materials properly in Maxwell is still hard for me.  
I did a render yesterday that looked very good after about 30 min.  So I decided to resume the render for another 3 hrs.  The result was worse!  I am not getting something right.

I am able to see the preview better now. I think it was probably the sky setting ?  I upgraded to version two since then.
