Switch the shadows on and try again.

This also is checked, as you can see from the .pln which is available for download from my writeup page. This strange behaviour makes ArchiCAD useless for any type of interior rendering, as light sources do not cast shadows and bleed across multiple rooms, thus overexposing every surface in the project.
Switch the shadows on and try again.

However, ArchiCAD is NOT modeling&rendering software, which is pretty popular misconception about it. It is the architectural CAD software, for the architectural design and construction documentation production.
In the typical workflow, it is very probable that the final renderings, which take as much specialized knowledge and time as the design and the construction documentation production, will be done by a dedicated person with a software of their choice, using the same ArchiCAD model. Here is where the proper link becomes essential.Your assertion is off base from what GS is advertising. Maybe this happens in larger offices, but again, that is NOT AT ALL what GS is advertising!

When ArchiCAD can not do such simple things as cast wall shadows, ie: lights shining through walls (see my post above), Graphisoft's claim that ArchiCAD's rendering can produce "stunning results" and that ArchiCAD is the "complete building design software solution" is a little suspect. When we bought our ArchiCAD licenses we were told it could do basic renderings - not that we would need additional software to do so. In response to stefan, ArchiCAD (even at version is far from "complete" in the rendering aspects.
