light beams through walls

Question

Why do my light beams go through walls? I hang a light, I turn it on, a draw a wall, and the beam goes right through it. My shadows are very important. What am I missing? Thanks. v3.1

from the manual: 
 Lighting 
 The following lighting options are available: 
 
 Pass-Through - light passes through objects. Least resource-intensive. 
 Approximated (default) - light will pass through an object if all corners of the beam do not hit that object. Moderately resource-intensive. 
 Realistic - accurately-modeled light. Most resource-intensive.

I have made a discovery. It's my own Mac. When I use my file on my Element 2, Pass-Through, Approximated and Realistic all work in Augmented3d as expected. When I load the same file on my iMac at home, all 3 of the settings only allow me "Pass-Through" This could be a bug. Can someone tell me if this should be tested and reported in some manner? Thanks.

If you can still see this behavior with current release software (3.2.4 as of this writing) please let us know. Thank you.
