Is it possible to have an object (for example a column) cast shadows, but not receive them?
I need to cheat the shadows in order to show a color scheme, but I don't like the own material color -shaded mode)
Thanks!

This topic was recently discussed here.
To answer your question, no there is no way to set an element not to receive shadows AFAIK. You'd probably have to set the Elevation Status to Drawing and manually delete the shadow(s).
Cheater.

render twice.
the second with what ever is casting the shadow removed.
then cut and paste.
or...
add a fill light source to the shaded areas.
or....
change the ambient setting for the shaded material.

Regarding elevations made in the "own material color -non-shaded" mode:

Certain library objects (see pic) have a shadow parameter that can be turned off, but I think it only affects shadow casting, not receiving. I haven't tested that aspect.
