 **__WARNING:__ Sometimes the IDE do not load the Gorilla3D package on startup, especially when creating a new / empty project.
 Then the IDE do not register all Gorilla3D classes and do not use the correct OpenGL context for design-time rendering!**
+In case you do not have an existing Gorilla3D demo/application:
+  * Start the IDE with installed package and configured paths
+  * Create a new and empty FMX application
+  * Drag & drop a TGorillaViewport, TGorillaCamera and TGorillaLight onto your form
+  * Save the project
+  * Close the IDE
+  * Kill "adb.exe" process in task manager
+  * Restart the IDE
+  * Load your previously created application
+**__REMARK:__ Was solved since v0.8.3.1846.**
