Summary: Add the ability to have lighting fixture geometry not cast shadows, this is to properly render direct/indirect IES files.
Description: 3ds Max gives the ability to have geometry not cast shadows, this could be used in Revit so that direct/indirect light fixtures can render properly.
When rendering direct/indirect light fixtures (where the IES file direct the light both up and down) the light will inevitably hit the geometry of the fixture, so either the ceiling or the floor will be dark.
Giving the fixture model geometry the option to not cast shadows would fix this issue and make renders more accurate.
