Try the latest MR 17.2, and report back.

You probably got over this problem but for anyone else having issues with this, make sure that your scenes have shadows too. If you had shadows disabled when creating the scenes, then the scenes will render with shadows disabled.

Yes, but if all of the scene pages are using the same time and date, then you can switch off shadow saving for each scene page and just use the model’s global shadow info settings:

UI.menu("View").add_item("All Scenes Use Model Shadows") do
  model = Sketchup.active_model
  model.pages.select {|pg|
    pg.include_in_animation?
  }.each { |pg|
    pg.use_shadow_info= false
    pg.update
  }
  model.shadow_info["DisplayShadows"]= true
end
