I've been messing around with the new 3D tools and even though i'm loving it, somehow the shadows keep getting cut just like in the picture below. I already tried changing the "add xx around object" value in Document Raster Effect Settings but id does nothing...

Hi there - probably a very late reply to this, but I was having the same trouble recently and found if I played around with 'Depth' (under Object –> Inflate) that worked for me!

There is a setting in the shadow options called "shadow border" or the like (I have a German version). Can you try it?

This issue has been driving me crazy and this is the only thread I've found about it, but I can't find the option "shadow border" in shadow options... Has it been removed from Illustrator 2023, or am I mossing something? Please find screenshot attached. Many tanks in advance!
