[/img][/img]The shadow falls proper on the door but not on the windows..
Is there any setting that I missed or the new AC 23 has a bug ? Never had this problem before..

Did anyone experience it ? Thanks for your help.

Just checked and it is not.
This just means if the widow actually casts a shadow or not.
Not if it can receive a shadow.

Are these all the same object and if so which one?

Hi Barry,

Thank you for your message.
I checked the setting and the shadow is checked in the menu.

These are the basic windows from AC 24. The project was created recently in AC24.
I have noticed, when I select the window, I can observe the missing shadow in the highlighted form.

Glad you found it.
So it was a Graphic Override that only affected the shadow on the windows but not the doors?
