Shadows in the 3D model (Light Spots)

InCadnaAThere are two types of shadows that are projected into the special 3D model.

1. Those that project on the ground through obstacles (buildings, barriers,...).
   
2. Those project on the surfaces of obstacles.
   

The former are disabled by default and can be enabled/off by entering 3D-Special modeand addressingDisplay > Effects > Shadows(small projects only). These shadows are always based on the same focus of reference light and cannot be modified.

The latter are always enabled and an editable light spotlight can be added to modify their trajectory. To do this, a type object must be addedSymboland double-click with the left mouse button on the edge.

The next window should appear, where in the section3D-Symbolyou should choose the "Light Source" option of the drop-down and configure its relevant parameters that will characterize it (for more information, revise the "Symbol section)" of the paragraphHelp > Content):

To see the influence of the inserted light focus,enter 3D-Special mode:
