It sounds as though you've covered the objects' (you've turned off the recieve shadow option on the fascia, and the cast shadows on the wire object, right?) shadow options, Bob. And it also sounds like you've got the lighting covered. Maybe it's just a question of being completely thorough? Objects excluded in shadow-casting spotlights should *not* cast shadows. Make sure *any* shadow-casting spotlight that is influenced by the Wire object has excluded it. Then, dedicate a new, non-shadow casting light (even an omni to be safe, if you wish), to the wire object. Adjust until the wire object's lighting matches the rest of the scene. There should be no shadow produced by this object now. I hope this is a quick-fix for you. I'm gonna go into the program right now to do a little testing on WF materials/shadows… Good luck, -Alan Iglesias
