As I don't believe, that they are not working straight from the start, maybe they have to be used in another environment. As GLOB_SUN AZIMUTH is only available in 3Dmode. Maybe GS can give some hints about it. I tried the sample script too and got only world- and object position.<BR /> <BR /> Frank Fri, 12 Aug 2005 16:39:32 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/XYZ-Location-object-some-GVs-dont-work/m-p/30348#M35693 Frank Beister 2005-08-12T16:39:32Z
