Can't Draw A Finite Sphere or Dome?

So I'm trying to adjust a finite cube in my scene, so it fits the room and gives me easy light.  However, when I click Draw Finite Cube, nothing shows up, so I have no easy way of adjusting it.

Same goes for the sphere.

Am I doing something wrong?  Thanks :)

    That's totally normal.

    You only see the dome in the render result. There isn't any helpful construct showing the cube/dome in the workspace.

    I'm assuming you're using Iray.

    Without additional info, I'll take a stab at it: The dome is an Iray function, so you can only see it when you render. This can be whether you start a regular render, or choose the NVIDIA Iray option in the viewport. The latter turns on real-time rendering. Depending on your system, it can take seconds to minutes before anything appears.

    Okay, okay.  For osme reason I got the impression (from an earlier iRay tip) that it would draw the dome/sphere colored in the workspace, so I could easily tweak it and make it fit the room.

    Thanks :)

    Select Finite Box; Visualize Finite Dome to On; set the Width, Depth and Height to fit inside the room, the settings are in Meters as far as I can make out.

    This is a 3 Meter Cube and the see through coloured square is the Finite Box set to 3x3x3. I have moved the Cube to the right and up to show it.
