tricky question though....
wow! fantastic response...thanks sooo much guys! as i'm using the SU 6 Pro version (my colleagues are using a mix of free-ware and Pro versions...) I had no problems finding the location selection from the drop-down menus.
This solves the basic problems we were experiencing and we're very appreciative of your replies! Thanks so much.
and g'day to you too Bill! nice to see another fellow NZ'er using SU!

Hi all 
First up...great forum for an even greater program! We're Landscape Architecture students who use Sketch Up for all our visualisations, plans, and conceptual work. We have a burning question that maybe someone could help us out with....
How do we change the 'shadows' settings to a southern hemisphere orientation..?? Is this actually possible...? We've laboured over fixing this issue with Photoshop (patching in shadow casts etc...) but it would be fantastic if the shadows setting could be changed in Sketch Up!
Thanks so much
