We would love to provide the ability to cast realistic shadows when section cuts/planes are applied - unfortunately, we can only render what we receive from SketchUp and even though the cuts are being transferred, the geometry itself still behaves in a way as if it would be un-cut, which is why Enscape also renders shadows still. I love literally everything about Enscape otherwise, but the way section cuts work is absolutely infuriating. If some people like the way things currently work, then please implement a toggle switch to allow us to change the way things are rendered. Filing it with lights produces an effect that 1) isn't really the look i'm going for, and 2) takes more time to set up when just having the cut geometry NOT cast shadows would solve everything. The only way to get around this is to fill the interior with lights or create the geometry in a way that the section cut actually turns geometry off - in complex models this is almost impossible. The whole point of cutting a section is to see the interior of whats being cut, and it applies to vertical and horizontal section cuts. This basically makes the section tool completely useless in Enscape. All renders, then, are completely dark on the interior. Currently, when you cut a section in SU, Enscape renders the scene properly from a geometry standpoint, but shadows act as if all the cut geometry was still present.
