shadows showing under topography cut

[mar_zan]

My shadow is showing under the topography cut in elevation views when the shadows come towards the view side. How do I prevent this?

I created a test project to show the situation. 

I'd prefer to avoid cutting ground plane at a specific level because I want the shadows to display correctly on a sloped topography in my actual project.

I've read and re-read what you wrote and I'm still unclear what you want to do.    

...is this about compass orientation?

Geometry and lighting wise what you show are correct, even you don't like it graphically. 

If you want the cut pattern of the topography remains shadowless then give the material some transparency, or overlay two views on sheet.

I can rephrase.
When the shadow goes past the cut plane of an elevation, it makes it so the ground underneath the topography also displays shadow.

I did some tests and when the shadow does not reach the cut plane, it does not show below the cut.

I'm wondering if it's possible for the shadows to not to display below the topography cut line even when they go past the elevation cut. Since shadows showing in a ground cut doesn't make sense graphically.

It seems weird to me that Revit would give shadow to a topography that's cut, so I'm unsure if this is a Revit problem or my problem.
I see @ToanDN 's post below. Just wondering if there is another way to take care of this.
