Display Shadows

• Use the Display Shadows function to depict depth in the 3D Model window by casting and obstructing light.

• Display Shadows allows "self shadowing", meaning that it allows models to cast shadows on themselves and on other objects.

• Use Display Shadows when taking snapshots to create a photo-realistic feel. Notice that using the Display Shadows function severely effects navigation performance (speed), so use this control sparingly.
