ztarantino 0 Posted April 9, 2019 Hello, I am planning a university commencement can want to see what kind of shadow the tent covering our stage would produce during the ceremony. To do this, I figured a roof would produce a very similar shadow, but when I put it into either fast or final render, the roof disappears. I have attached images below that shows the roof in OpenGL and then Fast Render How would I fix this to show a shadow? Quote Share this post Link to post
Robert Anderson 128 Posted April 9, 2019 What Renderworks Textures have you applied to the roof? Quote Share this post Link to post

PVA - Jim 2,383 Posted April 9, 2019 If you restart Vectorworks, does the texture then block light as expected? If not, reply back with that texture applied to a simple text sphere or other solid object in a sample file attached and I can take a look. Quote Share this post Link to post
Robert Anderson 128 Posted April 9, 2019 OK -- when you select the Roof object, what fill attributes does the roof have in the Attributes palette? If it's None, try giving it a Solid fill. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
ztarantino 0 Posted April 9, 2019 I had already tried restarting the file, and vectorworks, to no avail. The Fill is set to solid, black color. In a new file I put tried a roof with the same texture and same everything else, and it worked as intended. I copy and pasted that Into the original file, and it works now! Thanks for the help Quote Share this post Link to post
