      Hi

      I need to do a shadow simlutaion.

      I thought I could use TBD's time.rb and then export the animation, but it seems that time.rb won't work in SU7 pro.
      Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method `gmtime' for 0.0:Float>

      Is there a other way to add the current time in a animation ? is it even possible with time.rb ?

      Thanks

        I've used that plugin with SU7 Pro to do shadow studies with no problem. Perhaps you can contact TBD for some hint as to how to make it work.

          Hi Dave

          Thanks for your response. Does the text export with the images ?

          It might confligt with an other script. My version i 1.1 - there might be a newer one ?

          Edit:
          Oh there is a version 1.3 at http://www.smustard.com/script/Time - now I have to figure out if I can get an update.

            The image I posted was a JPG export.

            I didn't have the plugin here on my computer at work so I redownloaded it and installed it a minute or two before making that image. If you get the Smustard toolbar, you should be able to update the plugin after clicking on My Smustard.
