      Hi you plugin masters!
      I wish to have such a plugin: moving the sun to the center of the view, i mean to the center of the screen, to the view at the moment with just one click πŸ˜‰ If you know Kerkythea i mean the way where the lightsource/sun is loaded when insert one... The reason for this: it is very easy to imagine where the light/shadows comes. Does it allready give something? I use elevation 45 shadows and it is not bad but not excaclty what i am looking for. So if you need ideas to create new plugins this is one...

          I guess the plugin would not be hard to modify so that the camera is facing the sun in one step but two steps is not too many either.

                You can do that in SU6 and 7 - just that you do it from Window > Model Info > Location

                  Yes but for fast viewing where the shadow falls this new function is fine...
