Wird Shadows in UE5

Hello I have been using unreal for a bit but I am having an issue where I cannot effect shadows on objects such as this wall. it is way too dark and I want it to match the shadow next to it on the ground

Thanks

Is this a default level template? Do you have a skylight?

hello sorry for the late reply

i do have a skylight but it does not seem to do anything

This is a default level

I’m assuming you’ve tweaked something ?

i just moved things around thats all let me delete the level and try moving things around again

I mean in the project settings maybe?

ok from what i just learned when i duplicate the level the shadows get darker

I think you’ve accidentally selected a lighting object along with your mesh.

A good way to tell what’s selected is to press F.

i am only selecting the level in the content drawer and then duplicating it

This thing?

and then you open the copy?

yes

Hmm, doesn’t happen here, I duplicated it 5 times…

yes it seems like it

Sorry, cannot replicate this…

wait the builtData seems to be the thing effecting the light

the question is how do i create one

You can generate on with the build menu, but I don’t think it will help :-/

( build all levels ).

it seems like trying to build all levels helped it

Thanks
