Shadows Are Not Rendered for RPC Content

In the rendered image, shadows do not display for RPC content, such as people and trees.

Issue: This problem occurs when using the Autodesk Raytracer rendering engine, and not selecting the Cast Reflections type property.

Solution: For each RPC object that you would like to render a shadow:
  1. Select the RPC object in the view, and in the Type Selector, click Edit Type.
  2. In the Type Properties dialog, for Render Appearance Properties, click Edit.
  3. Select Cast Reflections, and click OK twice.
  4. Render the image again to see a shadow for the RPC object.
