To have a sense of realism in our SketchUp model, we can use shadows and fogs to have a greater sense of realism unit. So we have options like shadows and faults under view bar, where we can create shadows and faults in our model. First we on the right side we can see the default tray there is a shadow options as well as we can provide four options also here so we will go under window under default tray, there is a fourth option we can check on it. And we have these two options. Okay, so under this shadow, we can just click it. So right now we can see we have shadows on the structures we have already created.

So it shows the realism in it. And on the right side we can see there are certain attributes we can manipulate accordingly. accordingly to our need. So, right now, we can see this is the time zone here. And we have, we can manipulate the data from day to night and also throughout the year with the date of that particular area. So, we have this sense of flexibility to create a sense of realism in our model, like if our see our building off of some specific Space Place.

So we can create a proper shadow on a particular moment of time. It will help us to visualize things at that place. And also, we can manipulate the lightness and darkness the perspective to shadow we are getting so it is quite helpful for us and use sun for shading. Yes, we have some options. And there are another options like display on faces on about on some edges. So it's basically just adds more detail in our shadow, which will help to add more realism toward visuality.

And coming to the fourth option, this is the display form. When we click on the display form, we have two options like initial form starting from where and the maximum distance. So we don't if we are creating a bigger scene, we have bigger city in our scene and we don't want our city to be look very very clearly. So we can have four here. It will create an illusion is there is a something behind and there is a proper background behind it. But with these two options, we can manipulate the distance and the extent of fog in RC So, it is just a 10 track according to our need.

And also we can have we can change the background of our form. Right now it is used background color, but we want to change another color like I want to create a reddish for it is a screen like this. So try it by yourself and check the shadows and form option. You will find it really easy and you will love to have a greater visualization in your models.
