2007 Shadows

Visual Styles Manager, looking at Environment Settings for a custom style.

If I select the Shadow Display, the description at the bottom says
"Controls the display of shadows: no shadows, ground shadows only, full
shadows, or full shadows with ground plane. (VSSHADOWS system variable)"

That's four options that it describes. Only three appear in the
drop-down menu, and the system variable accepts 0-2.

Is the fourth option of full shadows *and* ground shadows just wishful
thinking?

that's what I was wondering... if it was future functionality already
built in to the description, or current functionality that wasn't
functional...

Have you checked via 3DCONFIG that your machine is capable of the full shadows? My version disabled it because the hardware was not good enough to handle it

Brian did you ever figure this out?

I just got a video card upgrade and even though I have a fully compliant card and full shadows is on I cannot get shadows on the ground and adjacent objects simultaneously.

I get shadows on the ground <2> or shadows on other objects <1>, but not both.
