Shape to Bricscad visual styles

in 3D Modeling

So I open a 3D model in Shape that has been created in Bricscad Platinum and set the visual style to Realistic. The result is a view showing shadows.

I then save this model and open in Bricscad to see the same resulting view and a visual style in the properties palette of Realistic (Shape). The shadows are still showing.

What I am trying to find out is how I get the same shadows without going through Shape first. I have tried a combination SUNPROPERTIES and DEFAULTLIGHTING to try and get the same result in Bricscad without going through Shape first but cant seem to figure out what settings are used.

Any suggestions??

    Whether shadows are cast depends on the Lighting / Shadow Display property of the visual style. In BricsCAD you can set this property in the Drawing Explorer / Visual Styles. In Shape, visual styles are hard-coded and cannot be edited.
