A neat challenge for RealView users
Try this:

1. Create a part and construct a plain rectangular extrude.
2. Apply a PP Copolymer material and activate RealView. Other plastics like ABS or POM also work.

You should see a "phantom" image of a warehouse. Well I see it on my laptop, a DELL M70 with a Nvidia Quadro FX Go1400. Don't call me crazy but I dont have that picture on this laptop and it's not a decall or texture.

Instead of making a Square block make a Sphere. This has been like this since Realview was released, except in the beginning it used to be an acceptable Neighborhood.

This has always been there and the picture varies among different licenses. Ours is some type of refinery.
I have asked SolidWorks how can I change it and was told I can't. I'll find a way someday.

I recognize this shouldn't be a issue to waste more time, but I've looking further an with other materials, like Acrylic... the phantom image is a Daytona Car??

Come on...If the idea is to get marketing/design advantage so let us change this image.
