Hi all,

 

I am working on a rather large project (33 stories), This problem happen when I cast shadow in Revit (see image below), Many small points are missing shadow! I spent time to research but still don know how to fix this,

Do I missed some shadow setting or just b/c of my graphic card?

 

Thanks,

hi can you check your "properties" underlay change to none or check your view range.

I have exactly same problems in multi-story building...

Only top floor doesn't have the problem and the shadows on the other floor seem like 

being affected by elements above the floor....1.png2.png

Maybe you could zip&share the file to examine. I'm not familiar with the issue.

Hey All,

 

I think I may have a solution. Within the Sun Settings, set the location of the site accurately. 

Our original location was set to somewhere in Boston for some reason, this simple change fixed the issue instantly.
