Setting the Ground Level

Set the height of the ground on which shadows are cast.

\ground

 

Shadows are cast on the XY plane. Specify the height of the plane on which the shadows are cast in the shadow display mode, relative to the origin (0 0 0) of the model.

If you create your model on the XY plane where z = 0, and you specify the height as 0, the shadow originates from the base of the model. If you specify a negative value, the shadow originates below the base of the model and the model appears to float in space.
