VSSHADOWS (System Variable)

Controls whether a visual style displays shadows.

Type:	Integer
Saved in:	Drawing
Initial value:	0

Shadows cast on objects can be displayed only when hardware acceleration is turned on. Use the GRAPHICSCONFIG command to access hardware acceleration settings in the Graphics Performance dialog box.

Value	Description
0	No shadows are displayed	Find
1	Ground shadows only are displayed	Find
2	Full shadows are displayed	Find

Note:

• When VSFACESTYLE is set to 1 or 2, setting the VSSHADOWS system variable to 0 (off) will result in enhanced 3D performance for pan, zoom, and orbit operations.
• Existing visual styles are not changed when you enter a new value for this system variable. Any new value entered for this system variable temporarily creates an unsaved new visual style.
