I am working in Revit and rendering in Enscape. I have set sun settings to still and edited time and date in the view in Revit and have made adjustments in Enscape settings to show shadow sharpness as 100. I am still getting jagged shadow lines. I also have some shadows rendering normal grey and one very dark. It looks like the vertical planes are rendering normal shadow color with jagged edges and the floor plane very dark shadows.

When I sync it looks like the second image. (Its darker because exposure is set to 30%).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You might try increasing your output resolution. The settings on the material appearances themselves may effect the contrast in shadow. The amount of shadow looks pretty accurate in my opinion.
