In the attached image of the HUD (Heads up display) in Solidworks, click on the monitor with the hand on it all the way to the right to activate Realview.

If it is grayed out (not selectable) then you are either trying to use it on an assembly with too many parts, or you do not have an Open GL video card.

    RealView will not work with Radeon cards. You need a Nvidia Quadro or ATI FirePro professional video card. Gamer cards will not run RealView.
