      I have my first question about sketchup and vray, i'am rendering scene and:

      • I have set up the scene whit shadows off
      • Turn shadows on, render scene and want to change sun position
      • I'am changing time and day in sketchup shadows window, in sketchup window everything seems to be fine
      • but when iam rendering scene the sun position hasnt changed

      any idea?

        The V-Ray sun should always be synchronized.

        What version number of V-Ray for SketchUp do you use? (I think there was an issue in the very first release - years ago.)

            Latest version is 1.49.01 - See if that makes any difference.

            And you're sure that you've got the Sun/Sky system enabled under Environment?
