Iray: Render upwards?

I'm seeing repeatedly, thru different models, that I can not render with a camera pointed upwards.
I try to render the ceiling to see how it's looking, and i can't just point the camera out it, but have to get close to even.. like x-rotation = < 10 to get it to work.
Otherwise, it just speeds thru the interations and give me a blank screen.
(I'm using Iray thru CPU only)
Anyone else notice this issue?

Under Render Settings, check environment. You may have Dome and Scene selected for environment mode. If Draw Ground is ON, your camera is blocked and you will get a blank screen. Turn Draw Ground Off.
THAT WAS IT!
Thanks so much..was knocking myself out (on and off) for weeks on this.
You're welcome.
