      Is there a way to make a face me component that faces the sun (vs 'the camera'). I'm modeling some solar panels that can be adjusted to follow the sun. I'm hoping to show this in a number of positions. Was thinking it would be great if you could show this while orbiting around the model. Maybe a long shot.

      Thanks, GREG

        You could try Thomthom's Face Sun, but I think it's only static so I don't think it will move as you orbit, or more importantly as the sun moves.

            Also see here. It is older: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/sketchup/ns6bX0VqWqg
            Something about doing it with Dynamic Components.

            I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
