This step will automatically change the display to then shading, after all the active icon, you can change the various types of options for shading

 in the figure above, the display has changed although the product is not maximized, in order to maximize the results of rendering and shading, change various types of other options, such as:
a .Brused metal wash, adding appearance like metal finish
b. Glossy, make the product or your part became more glossy and have appearance like glass
