      Hi,
      Has anyone worked out how to - or created a plug-in for - accurate control of the "Sun's" position relative to your scene, overriding the whole "time-of-day, time-of-year" thing?

      I've searched this forum, and can find no leads so far. There no doubt HAS to be a simple way someone has kindly worked out?

      99 percent of the time I need to get the light "just so" in relation to my models, and can never get it quite there with Sketchup's native Sun controls.
      I use twilight for my finished renders.
      I'm fairly new to this forum, but used Sketchup for about 3 years so far. Can't wait to share any things I discover with all here.

      Thanks,

      Woz.

        If you are looking for a plugin to move the sun around regardless of being astronomically accurate, look here. This plugin will not provide you data, but will move the sun in gross increments around the sky as reflected by the shadows cast. Fine movements are by the controls provided by SU.
