"3D document settings" confusion

JoseLP
Participant

Can someone please explain to me why for the 1st "3d document settings" image i've attached, the shadow tab located on the bottom provides me with multiple different options? And why for the 2nd "3d document settings" image, the same shadow tab does not provide me with those multiple different option?

In the second 3D document, you probably have uncut surface colours set to 'shaded'.
