I'm using Revit 2011 and I've been using Revit since Revit8.

I'm doing exterior elevations and perspectives and I want them shaded w/ shadows.

The problem I'm having is with color consistency.  In Revit 2009 you could go to advanced graphis under the shadow tool and make it consistent by checking a box...I can't remember what the box said.  But what it did, was give me a consistent color whether I used shadows or not. 

I don't see anything that will allow me to do this with 2011 and it's driving me nuts.  I know there is the consistent shading, but then you can't use shadows.  And if I use the shading w/ edges it's all washed out so that you have to play with the color and the settings so much that you can't get an elevation and a perspective to look that same. 

Am I missing something?  It seems like that shading w/ edges is much less user friendly than it used to be.
