Plan view and shadows

[HDbyJustin]

I swap between Revit and CA, depending on whether I am at my full time job or my side hustle. One thing I do in Revit is to add some shadows to the floor plan views. It looks great when printed. What is the easiest way to do this in CA?

You can add shadows for specified days and times. Essentially a show study

it creates polyline, so I assume you could change the fill to be a semitransparent grey, and get rid of the pline line, and it would be similar?

not sure why i got a down vote. 

 

Perhaps what it looks like in revit might help someone find a solution

I just gave you an upvote to balance out the downvote.  I can't see any reason for the downvote, but people are different.

OP was asking for shadows in floorplan view, not a sun study. 
 

In Chief you can do something similar in an orthographic 3D overview. 
 

OP was looking for something like a drop shadow effect like in Photoshop. 
 

Feel better now?

I don't use photo shop so I don't know what that effect is. ... a picture is worth a thousand words
