I'm using Archicad's auto rebuild setting for the first time to generate my elevations. Normally I would use the Archicad model to generate a base drawing, project a 2D copy and then clean up any redundant line work to generate my elevations. As your no doubt aware that this leaves a lot of room for human error as the project progresses.
I'm experiencing some difficulty with my shadows in elevation. I' m trying to change the colour of my windows in elevation then have the shadows appear as a darker colour of the windows. I have tried playing with the glass settings, but haven't had any luck. Has anyone figured out a way to do this?
I have attached a screen shot of the window with shadow and the materials settings dialogue box. I'm using Archicad 16 on a mac. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Forgot to add this.
Also in the settings section and elevation is possible change the pen and background shadows.

I generally use the method that Splitltd has suggested, but are looking for a more bullet proof method.

Set the mode to OpenGL, shading, sun shadows on, transparency off.
Play with other settings to get what you want. Also look into use of 3D docs.
Shadows on glass are darker than shadows on sash frames.
