No internal shodows
-
Can anyone help me out please. For some reason I can not get any shadows to show up internally. Please see attached. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong here?
-
your file opens fine for me. All shadows are as they should be. Have you tried exploding the group and re-grouping?
-
Open the Shadows window and check the box "On Faces".
-
Thanks "on faces" is grayed out, how do I make it active?
-
ok something is definitively screwy.
I have turned off "Use hardware acceleration" and I have shadow back again and "on faces" box is now select-able again.
Saved file and reopened again, shadows are very slow. Selected "Use hardware acceleration" and again to turn on, saved file and close.
Reopened file and all is well again. odd, perhaps it is the windows 10, but I dont know.
Thank for your help.

In your sig you write 'AMD Radeon'. If I remember well, the Radeon drivers caused issues with SketchUp before. Maybe their openGl drivers for win10 are still a bit ...

Shadows... Use Sun For Shading ??

yes you would think so, The check box does not seem to make any difference here. (However shadows is working currently)
What is this check box for anyway?

Normally SketchUp shades surfaces as if the light source is at the camera. It does not cause shadows to be cast, regardless of settings. The "use sun for shading" instead shades surfaces as if the only light source is at the sun position. When shadows are displayed, this can produce a more realistic look because you don't have shading from one light source and shadows from a different one.
