When you simply look in YOUR HELP, you find this.  And reading that ...

To turn on shadows

Use one of these methods:

• On the View Control Bar, click Shadows Off/OnShadows On.
• On the View Control Bar, click Visual StyleGraphic Display Options. In the Graphic Display Options dialog, under Shadows, select Cast Shadows, and click OK.

Not using all of the tools available to you means you will not succeed at using Revit.  LOOK IN YOUR HELP!

I already know that.

My proplem is : even if I don't have shadows in my view. When I render it, I have the shadows in my render.

Thank you

Again, using YOUR HELP, under the topic "Rendering Workflow" then picking "define sun and shadows settings" you will read:

You can specify a sun setting for solar studies, walkthroughs, and rendered images either by using the Sun Settings dialog (as described in this topic) or, in many cases, by using the sun path’s on-screen controls.

1. Open a 2D or 3D view that supports the display of shadows.
2. To turn on shadows, on the View Control Bar, click Shadows On/OffShadows On.

I don't know why you would ever turn off shadows in a rendering because they show depth!

Hi again,

Maybe my question wasn't clear enough:

what i look for is how to render without directional source but more with a "global illumination setting" with no shadow cast but with the quality of a rendered image, all this without leaving the Revit interface (i could easily do it in an other software but I try to keep the workflow as Revit Native as possible).

As you're asking a project is not only about depth, sometimes shadows can blurry the message your image is supposed to send in space planning or organization purposes (precisely the case here).

I honestly Thank you for the time you're taking for my topic although I have to admit the judging is a little disapointing.

No judging, just responding to your questions as asked.  If you had already used the processes outlined in your Help, that would have been good to help explain your issues.  Now when you mention space planning, it sounds like you may be rendering a plan?  Again, a better question can result in a better answer.
