Hey guys,
I am quite new to Rhino and it seems like I don’t know very much about it. After watching many tutorials I have realised that I have issues with my shadows. The problem is, when I go to rendered view there is no shadow casted on my screen. I have tried putting a surface under the object but not appears either way. Here I upload a screenshot that shows the lack of shadow in my Rhino, please help! Also uploaded my display settings if that will be in any help.
Thank you in advance,
Aleks
Hi Aleks- can you please run the Rhino command SystemInfo and paste the results here?

Do you have the ground plane enabled?
Can’t help with that. I’m a novice too, sorry! It might depend on the preferred renderer (software or opengl). Try poking the options in Document Properties > View > OpenGL
Hello - if you’re running on Parallels, there may not be much we can do to help, but I’d at least get the latest drivers from the NVidia website and do a clean install of these.

Parallels does not support Rhino V6’s minimum OpenGL System Requirements.
VMWare Fusion might work better for OpenGL but like Parallels, it is still not supported.
You would be better off to partition your Mac drive using the Bootcamp Assistant Utility, install Windows, and have a dual boot Mac/Windows system.
