      Given that my main use for SU is Architecture, I would like to see enhanced/updated shadow features. Specifically as it relates to Geo-location. I have been modeling several projects in West Central Wisconsin (latitude 44.95N), and when I use the shadow feature (pegged to the location via Google Earth) to study shadow impact, I have noticed that for this area on 6-21-xxxx the sun sets before 8pm CST. In actuality, the sun sets closer to 10pm CST.

      I know the time zone thing can be inaccurate due to jogged time zone lines but, is this something that could be enhanced/updated? That would be great.

      Also, not meaning to be greedy, but some simple artificial lighting tools in SU would be awesome too!

      ...and after awhile the artificial lighting tools could become more advanced πŸ˜„
