That would give longer shadows though. So ideally you should have the shadows at 9 am or 3 pm (15:00) - depending which direction you wish them to see) and have to fiddle either with the date or with the latitude (or keep it at the equinox to have an easy starting point) and only change the latitude to something I am not really willing to count now.

No, this is not working. It's either not the same length or not at 45 degrees. I'll leave it to someone more knowledgeable.

Oh come on. You can do it.
I wonder how hard it would be to create a plugin that would
A. Copy the footprint of the selected building(s)
B. Move the copy of the footprint 45° say to the northeast or northwest and place it some small distance above the ground plane to prevent Z-fighting.
and
C. Fill the outline of the foot print with a transparent gray face.In order for what Antonio wants to do to be useful, the ground must be flat so there'd be no need to make allowance for terrain. The image output would be a 2D top view so the resulting faces could be at any height above the ground. Perhaps they would be placed at the height of the tallest building so that it appears that they are casting shadows on lower things. Or maybe each "shadow" face could be placed at the top of its building.
It's easy for me to do all this free thinking and come up with ideas since I have no idea if they could even be implemented.

It's probably due to the Earth being round instead of flat. We could blame Christopher Columbus. He's not here to defend himself anyway.
