 Shadow 1000 is special for trees, it uses alpha transparent textures to be calculated using GPU shadow buffer.

 At this particular model I suppose to don't put the rail in the shadow at all. (PMC edit: means its either no shadow, or model a real handrail with polygon's not just one face with alpha channel texture).
+====== Closing Model ======
+modEmMaik about closing shadowvolume lod mesh:
+I open up another O2, copy and paste the single element, which is not close-able, and try to detect the problem.
+Sometimes faces are doubled, which you may detect in the solid view and switch the faces (w-button).
+Sometimes the mesh is not closed because one edge in one face is splitt (one additional point in the same line). It looks closed, but it is not.
+When it is closed, I copy the mesh back.
+Best check for shadow LOD is to create a big box in the first visual LOD, invert the faces (w-button) of this box and check the result in the buldozer.
