Hey everyone, shadows are not visible in the 3D view but once I select the mass they appear. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?
mass shadows missing
mass shadows appear when mass is selected (masses are grouped)

Have you assigned a material to your masses? If not they will appear transparent instead of throwing shadows.
Yes I have assigned materials to my masses (from manage ribbon>object styles). I'm a beginner at Revit so I tried assigning different materials to the masses just to make sure I hadn't done anything wrong but nothing works. I checked the material properties and none of them are transparent but the shadows still do not appear unless I click on the masses.

Did you change each form to a proper subcategory and assign the material to those subcategories? If they are still Default Form then you need to assign the material to Mass > Form subcategory.
This got a bit interesting for me.
@mchristodoulou6to solve your issue you need to assign the material directly to each mass as shown here:
@ToanDNperhaps you can answer why the material assigned to masses in Object Styles doesn't seem to apply to masses in any view. I've attached a project file with a few masses made using Model-In-Place Component (Architecture > Build > Component > Model-In-Place) & In-Place Mass (Massing & Site > Conceptual Mass > In-Place Mass). A mass created from In-Place Mass will only have the Default Form material applied unless another material is specifically applied as shown above. However I also made a Model-In-Place Component in the Mass Category and left its material as <By Category> and it behaved the same way. But after re-editing the component (without changing the material) it creates a shadow.
Can you have a look at the attached project and tell me why these elements seem to behave differently in regards to their materials?
Thank you so much for your help! I have now fixed it and the shadows appear. @ToanDN @Lachlan-JWP
