Sun settings, Sun studies

• Visual style shortcut (small 3d box at graphic display options at bottom).
• Trick = you turn on the shadows (Shadows, Cast Shadows tick box) here BUT the sun settings are adjusted elsewhere:
• Sun settings is where you turn the sun on.
• Still, Add Location (need internet)
• for project, measure the shadow using the ruler tool but don't use the 3D view to do this

NB. if you have a typography, need to go into the sun settings and switch the 'Ground Plane at Level' off

VV = brings up the visibility window to show/hide selected elements, make certain things halftone etc.

Sun Study

Sun settings:

• Choose Single Day (or multi day)
• Make sure shadows are turned on! (or it won't export)
• Make sure your location is correct
• Choose whatever settings you want
• Make the time interval 15min if only selecting one day (otherwise video will be over too quickly)

File - Export - Images & Animations - select solar study and then reduce the frame rate to produce the time of the video you want (this adjusts as you update the fps). That is, bring frames/sec rate down to make it slower.
