      Hello,
      Any ideas on why the shadows look like this?
      #1 & #2 both have same day/time settings, I just turned a little for #2.
      I also noticed that very small changes to the day/time give very strange results.

      Thank you,
      Glenn

        Welcome to the dreaded Shadow Bug. This happens when your viewpoint passes in the shadow. It is a known bug in SketchUp and does not have a foreseeable fix. It comes down to legal rights to a certain algorithm (correct me if I am wrong).

        One workaround is to place your viewpoint in the light entering a window or make a section cut and take your viewpoint from outside the building.

        Hope this helps.

          I forgot about the bug…. Thanks for the section cut trick, I’ll give that a try.
