I am trying to show sharp shadows on an elevational view using the realistic style to show texture. On all but 1 elevation this works (see image 1) but on my south elevation, no shadows are shown (image 2). They both use the same view template that includes everything.
I have tried to use a 3d view and section box as a workaround but I only get very soft shadows and not the sharp shadows I can achieve on most of the elevations.
Any idea why only one elevation does not behave right?

It could possibly be your sun or shadow settings are different to your other elevations?
Create a template from the elevations that are shown correctly and apply it to the one that does'nt and see if that solves it?
Image 1 looks like an elevation, and image 2 looks like a 3d view?
All 4 elevations should look exactly the same if you have the same template applied.
Sometimes this sort of issue happens due to certain glitches or issues within Revit itself.
For example I had an issue with shadows disappearing when I turn planting on, then I discovered this article talking about Toposurface, some surrounding elements or imports may affect how Revit reads and shows things.
FYI, check this article.
