I’m new to Shapr3D but loving it so far. The problem I’m having is the darn shadows being cast in Visualization. I have to spend time in Photoshop to remove them and it messes up my image. Is there a way to remove shadows? I want a directly overhead, top down shot, with no overt shadow being cast. Is this possible?

Never mind, to remove shadows I just needed to remove the ground plane. Knew it had to be something easy.

How did you remove the ground plane?
