Drop shadow button on Attributes palette disabled


Bunbun

Question

Help.

The last post I did on here was resolved due to some helpful answers and was also about drop shadows.

Does any one know why the drop shadow box on my attributes palette is greyed out and I can't apply drop shadows from the attributes?

Also some of my classes have drop shadows properties on them but these aren't showing either. Is it something to do with sketch renders being used?o.O

What objects do you have selected when the attributes palette disables that button?

If you draw a simple rectangle and select it alone, do you see the drop shadow option come back on?

Also to clarify: I believe Drop Shadows will only work in Top/Plan, I don't think they work in rendered modes from Top or Front etc.

Hi Jim

 

Thanks for your quick reply!

No matter what I select it's not enabled. Tried drawing a rectangle too but still doesn't come on. I don't think anything in my drawing is other than 2D / Top plan but how can I check this?

 

Thanks

Similarly, I see objects in 2d plan view where I have expressly turned on drop shadow (Design Layers). However, that same plan when in Viewport mode randomly show some shadows, many are missing. Feels very arbitrary. Yes, "Drop Shadow" is turned on under Viewport Advanced Properties.  Thanks.
