To turn on shadows, do one of the following:

  • From the Task Pane, Alt + drag or Alt + double-click to apply a scene and open the Edit Scene PropertyManager. Under Floor, click Floor shadows.
  • From the DisplayManager, click View Scene, Lights, and Cameras . Right-click Scene and select Edit Scene. Under Floor, click Floor shadows.
  • In the graphics area, right-click and select Edit Scene. Under Floor, click Floor shadows.
To change the orientation of the floor, under Align floor with, align the floor with a plane.
