Shadow on a transparent surface
-
Sorry, I posted this question to a Pixero thread that I found by searching and just noticed it was the Ruby depository and the wrong place to ask (It's all just too techie for me...!;-)
Is there a Ruby that will all allow me to get a translucent surface (like the glass in a window) to receive a shadow from say an overhang? I tried using JS ShadowControl but it only seems to work on opaque surfaces?
Thx again.

Unfortunately, no. It's an OpenGL issue internal to SketchUp. I've been in contact with Google about this in the past, and they said it's a very involved issue to make happen.

OK, thank you, it's good to know.

You probably already know, but just in case: if you turn the opacity to 70 or higher, it will then receive shadows. Or at least that was the rule when they first introduced transparency in SketchUp. Haven't tried it since \
Juat checked. That measure has to do with casting shadows, not receiving them. sorry about that.
