Default Multiple Shadow Bbehind Shapes

I am working in Visio 2003. I know how to put a single shadow box behind a
shape but I can't figure out how do multiple shadows. Is it even possible?

Default Multiple Shadow Bbehind Shapes

Hi Chris,

There's no multiple-shadow option. You can fake it by using an outline
of the shape, and giving it a lighter fill or transparency.

Try selecting a copy of your shape, then doing Shape Operations
Union to make one big blob out of it. You can then use this as a
starting point for a shadow.

If you need to do skewing of the shadow, well Visio has no skew
function, but have a look at:
