I think i'm having a blond week, i have found that when I am using third party ground props or ground figures, I very often don't  get any ground shadows in final renders, often even with the ground shadows option turned on in the preview window I get no shadow showing in preview either. Am I doing something wrong and if so what?

just to add, it doesnt happen on all ground  figures and props.........
