        uncheck background in the environment tab.
        if you are talking about the ground plane the car is on, just delete.
        I hope I'm telling you the right thing.

          Not sure what you are asking for is what you are pointing at, looks like you want to make that plane a shadow catcher, nor do I understand what the problem with the HDRi is as your arrow points to the ground.

          To fix the floor, make sure it's painted with a material (any) then using thea tools open the editor (material editor) clear material then select shadow catcher.

          If you see a toilet in your dreams do not use it.

              Can you elaborate...?
              How do you want it to be...?

              Based on the hdri you've used, I think the shadow looks as it should...

              Cheers

                  I'm not sure that your hdri has the best quality... 😐

                  I can only encourage you to try this scene, where you can take learnings from the material settings etc...
                  (NB! please note the file-size is 83Mb, because it also contain a free hdri...)

                  With the scene you should be able to get a render similar to this if you're using the latest Thea4SU plugin...

                      Tomasz used frontal projection with his scene
                      quick tut:
                      Setup you scene with the car on a plan add the hdri,
                      scale the plane so it reaches the horizon
                      Hide everything and render the scene, save the image
                      unhide everything
                      add the previously rendered image to the plane
                      open the thea dialog and double click on the image
                      set the diffused slot projection to frontal
                      close the mat lab
                      do a test render, you'll find the background is slightly darker, set the background intensity to about 1.7, you may need to fiddle about a bit
                      thats it πŸ˜„

                      Here's the Thea version as a pack file, I don't have the SU file on this laptop

                          You're mixing things up...
                          Please remember that the hdri will also be a source of the illumination...

                          Please take the advice Nigec have provided... πŸ˜‰

                            If you want silhouette shadows is Thea, using frontal projection is the way to do it. But if simple "attaching" a model on a HDRI is enough then using shadow catcher is must.

                              No you don't use a shadow catcher at all, it uses the actual geometry with a texture
                              here's a SU version
                              Su file

                              you can also add bump, and reflections, but you need to use masks

                                        Sorry - but after almost two years, I don't have that scene any more... 😐
                                        What exactly is it you want to learn...?
                                        How to setup a scene in SU with a shadow catching material...?
                                        Or...?!?
