You can make the shadows look better with lightmaps, get the info from this tutorial:

If you want to make an invisible brush apply the nodraw texture to it, it will still cast shadows but you wont be able to see it. You can learn more about that here:

use the tools blocklight texture. it stops light and it's nonsolid

Yeah woops, if you want it to be nonsolid you can't use nodraw, but instead blocklight as UltraProAnti pointed out.
