Shadow intensity in 3D

How can I increase the shadow intensity in 3D view?

I am trying to study the sun path on the site, but the shadow is too pale for me to track it (as shown on picture below)

When I go to 3D Styles, the "Cast Shadow intensity" option is turned off (as shown on the picture below). When I choose another 3D style, ex Simple Shading (Vectorial), then I can change the shadow intensity but everything else is "wrong" and I cannot modify it.

Thank you

Hi @Arabrab 

 

Try turning on Options> Work Environment> More Options...> Experimental features> Enable Physically Based Rendering in 3D

Then Document> Creative Imaging> Create Sun Study...
