Shadows in paper space

[marko_ribar]

Does anyone know how to setup paper space viewport to display and plot shadows when viewport settings are set to shademode conceptual with full shadows and with turned light on (distant light from point -1,-1,1 to 0,0,0). In model space everything is OK - it displays shadows with shademode set to conceptual and with full shadows visual style, but in paper space it shows only conceptual shademode without shadows.

Is there any solutions ...? I searched thorough CAD system variables, but no results... maybe I missed something...

Thanks, Marko Ribar, architect.

Just to inform you, now I did all the same as previously, but never switched from paper space to model space. Everything I done from paper space viewport (activating model space). I created distant light (disable default lightning, allowing distant lights) from point -1,-1,1 to 0,0,0. I just copied conceptual visual style as copy and added full shadows and applied that new visual style. And as result it works (shadow appear). Maybe it was some sort of bug when firstly doing this in tilemode 0 and switch to tilemode 1. Main thing is that I did nothing different - never changed any of system variables...

Write what could be bug if you know, I just don't know - I am only thinking that this was problem. Thanks...

If you had this experience too than you know what am I thinking about...

I think I've found what was bug...

You have to set up lights and visual style in model or paper space, but if in some space shadow doesn't appear you have to type "lightlist" and point to that light in light list menu. Shadow should now appear. It is also same procedure if you switch from visual style with shadow to style without shadow and then again to visual style with shadow. Then shadow would disappear. So you have to point to light from light list again to make shadow appear.

This is what happened on my computer and ACA2010. Maybe this will help you too...
