Micaela Edwards Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hi all, There is some shadows shown in this file on basic shaded view in the design layer (image attached). I was curious how to turn on and enable this look of shadowing in other vectorworks files? What is the setting to enable this when working in the design layer on shaded 3D objects (when opening new files and modeling this level of shadowing does not appear). Best, Micaela Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 You probably need to turn Shadows on in Shaded Options in the View Menu:Rendering 1 Quote Link to comment

This will give 'shadows' in the interior corners as per your screenshot. For shadows proper you will need to introduce a Light or Heliodon into the file. 3 Quote Link to comment
Kevin Allen Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 looks like Ambient Occlusion needs to be on 1 Quote Link to comment
