From the looks of your screenshots, I'm guessing you are running 2015 or 2016 version? If so, the rendering capabilities have been removed from solidworks SDK editions in these years versions. The SEK edition still has it though, but unfortunately that is not what we as EAA members have access to. Supposedly "Visualize" is available for student use, but good luck getting anybody to answer on that one, I have been waiting over a month for someone to get back to me about that.

Also, on the note of tutorials, the built in stuff is great, but I really have to say the youtube videos by Tim Callinan are phenomenal!
