Hello,

I'm loading buildings from an Arc GIS 3D Object Scene Layer, they work great but they don't cast shadows. Here is a screen comparing a standard UE cube (casting shadows correctly) besides the buildings layer which doesn't cast shadows:

I also tested with just a Directional Light and again no shadow casting from the Scene Layer, but it works for the UE Cube:

Here are the layer properties:

I'm using UE 5.0.3 with ArcGIS Maps SDK 1.0.0,

thank you

Ok this was driving me crazy, finally found the solution:

Just leave unchecked Ray Traced Shadows in Project Settings:

Glad you were able to figure it out. I was considering what could be wrong and didn't have anything to share yet.
