I can't remember if it was the case on this one, but sometimes i am limited to certain sun angles because I am trying to have all the sides have decent shadows...kind of a balancing act.
I so wish the Set north tool allowed one to store the north angle with a scene which would allow me to cheat and have the best shadow options (although fake) for each side of the model.
I know just what you mean.
Since I don't render I have to rely heavily on the shadows to make my models look decent. It can be a real pain in the butt sometimes.
I remember before I discovered Set North I used to have to rotate the entire model (many times) to try to find the best shadows. Now that was fun (NOT)

Absolutely beautiful work, that's a house I could call home!

I wonder if it is not possible to create a plugin that would store the global sun position with a scene....I am guessing not or it would have been done already. I may pop over to the plug ins thread and inquire.
Thank you all for the positive feedback.

If it was really important, I suppose the easiest way would be to save another copy of your model and change the solar orientation in it.
I can usually get decent shadows all around the building by changing the time of day and the date. Invariably, if I model with the correct orientation, however, at least one side of the building is always in shadow.

Love the work Paul.
There's a plugin by TIG for classic elevation shadows. I forget how it deals with North (in the northern hemisphere) or exactly what's included. I usually just don't bother to shadow north in elevations. (What I have most problem with is "shading" making oblique surfaces too dark for elevations).

Gorgeous!
