      I'm trying to export a model in black and white style with shadows - in a vector format. Trying PDF - no shadow. Trying Layout - no shadows when I choose vector rendering...

      ...any method that will work?

        Try hybrid in LayOut. It renders edges as vectors but faces and shadows as raster.

            ArchiCAD is the only 3D application I know that has a vector shadows option.

              Wasn't there a 1001 shadow tools plugin that crated vector objects for shadows?.

              If you do go the hybrid approach that gives raster shadows, could probably get good vector object using Adobe Illustrator.
