Shadow Issue

[dusty kestrel]

The cabinets I have selected show up black in-game

[shell widget]

can you show a screenhot from ingame?

[dusty kestrel]

The island cabinets are just black

[obtuse path]

Looks like they might just not be lit enough

Alternatively look at if they aren't colored dark by accident

Or if the origin isn't in the ground

[dusty kestrel]

The rooms is clearly lit, does that not look unusual?

[dusty kestrel]

How do I check again?

[obtuse path]

When you have the model selected, there is a 3 axis indicator in the 3d view and a yellow cross in the 2d views

Just see if it's at the floor level at least

On second look it does, I was looking at it being out in the sun before.. :D

[dusty kestrel]

Can't see an origin

[dusty kestrel]

I've raised it out the ground a bit and that did not help

[obtuse path]

The blue line is part of the origin, the rest is under the floor in this photo..

[obtuse path]

Did you raise it enough? Is the origin above or at the floor?

You should also try just to test, significantly increasing the light intensity of the closest light, if the prop suddenly lights up, it's the light being dim, if it stays dark then it's something else

[dusty kestrel]

It seems to be the countertop on top of it, I removed it and it began to light up

What can I do to work around this?

make the counter top a func_brush/a prop and disable shadows on it

Thank you!!!
