      hi all ...

      i have a problem on my model ... im trying to export shadows in scenes but im getting strange behaviour ...

      see below what would be causing this ? ... my first thought was that the ground plain was above the geometry but that doesnt seam to be the case

        The definitely looks like a case where the buildings are slightly lower than the groundplane. You can right click on the axis and choose "reset" if its an option. And that will show you where the true groundplane is.

        Two ways to fix it. Move all geometry up above the groundplane. OR open the shadows info dialog box and uncheck the box at the bottom for "On Ground". Then SU won't display shadows on the groundplane.

        Good luck,

        Chris
