What setting mistake could cause a whole scene to render totally black ?

Hi

I purchased the nightbar scene that is sold on this site.

I've made a bunch of chanegs. mostly to color, and I was able to render it successfully as i made them......but  I think at the end I inadvertently made a change that messed it up. when I try to render, the scene renders too quickly and renders totally black. 

I can still go back to the original  (before any of my changes)  and it renders okay. But i dont want to lose all of my changes though, so can anyone take a guess as to what kind of accidental change could cause the render error I describe?  Thanks!

You may have moved the camera behind a wall.

In Iray, if you have given the lights area and render Emitter is on, going behind a light can also block the view.

Thanks Ill check the camera postion... but I though I was just rendering the viewport view

Sometimes just restarting DAZ Studio will fix that.
