Why does Athena Hair render transparent?

I loaded Athena Hair to my G8F.  It renders transparent.  What am I doing wrong?

I am using Daz Studio 4.22.0.19.

Pics:  

1) How it looks in the Viewport

2) Rendered with a backdrop colored gray

3) Rendered with an HDRI background

    It's a strand based hair.   Make sure you do not have geometry editor or mesh grabber on :)

    In genral any of the content creation tools can be an issue - try to have a selection or posing tool active.

    I exited and restarted Daz Studio, and made sure I didn't have Geometry Editor or Mesh Grabber tools active.  

    I loaded Athena hair to a new G8F character, and have the ActivePose tool with the arm selected.  The hair is still transparent.

    I "think" it's because you aren't doing a full, hit-the-render-button, render.
    You are doing the IRAY preview.
    Try testing it with the spot render tool or a small "full" render.

    Select the hair, go into the Simulation tab under General in the Parameters pane, and make sure that "Preview PR Hairs" is set to On.

    Seems I was too slow - the above two posters already posted the solution. But since I already made this here is proof that they are right.

    Great!  

    I turned on Preview PR Hairs and it worked with the Iray render preview.

    Thanks!
