How to make conveyor "draw render mode" apply?

I am trying to follow the solution in this question:

https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/28349/conveyors-appearance.html

Render mode is checked (and "applied") but the conveyor is still a ghost. How do I solve this?

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.0

This is a graphic card issue. This can happen, if your system components don't meet the recommended requirements. Please look here.

Particularly, you need to follow Solution #3: update your graphics driver.

If render mode isn't rendering the conveyors, then the graphics card is reporting that it supports OpenGL instanced rendering, but when instanced rendering calls are made, the graphics card is not processing them. This indicates a software problem with the graphics driver rather than a hardware problem of not meeting the system requirements.

If the hardware didn't meet the system requirements, then the Conveyor module would fall back to default rendering rather than being invisible. The hardware is reporting that it can handle it, but the graphics driver software isn't actually doing it.

Perfect - had to update the drivers and it worked. Thank you both
