This may be a redundant question, but is there a way to alter shadow settings so that in an exterior elevation, glazing does not recieve shadows?

As with some schools of hand rendering, I prefer to no cast shadows onto glass when drawing an exterior elevation.  Is there a way to do that in Revit, or do I have to alter the elevations after the fact in another program like PS?

Oops, sorry.  Forgot to say that I'm using Revit 2014.

Why not turn off the glass or make it transparent?

Thanks for the suggestions.  The glass material is already set to transparent, and if I hide the glass, it makes the opening even darker.  Having now played around with it and messed around with the settings, I figured out what was going on.  Turns out, the dark "shadow" on the glazing isn't a shadow on the glass so much as the dark interior of the building.  Guess I can't fake it like I can with a more simplistic program like Sketchup.  Oh Well.  Thanks again for the suggestion.
