I have used the visualization mode a few times on the iPad, the amount of textures to choose from is great, but how do I adjust the settings to make the shadows more vibrant and open. This helps in determining the amount of detail that can be seen. Is there a tutorial on better using visualization . Thanks Skip

Hi,

The Lighting settings can be found in the environment properties:

I saw that part of the settings but it doesn’t really adjust the shadows it moves the angle of the light. It doesn’t adjust the shadows individually from the main lighting source. Is there a way to add a second light source angle.

Currently, there is no way to add additional light sources.
