topic Accurate sun shadows in cutaway? in Visualization https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Accurate-sun-shadows-in-cutaway/m-p/274292#M9516 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I would like to know if there is a way to show the sun shadows in a cutaway view that is accurate. By accurate I mean as if the building is not cut. My shadows look like the sun can penetrate the entire cut plane instead of just coming from the windows, interior lighting, etc. I want to see the true interior lighting, but I can't see a large enough space by leaving the model whole and using the 'explore model' tool to view the interior. Am I missing a setting?<BR /> <BR /> Thank you<BR /> <BR /> Archicad v19</T></DIV> Thu, 11 May 2023 12:08:28 GMT Anonymous 2023-05-11T12:08:28Z Accurate sun shadows in cutaway? https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Visualization/Accurate-sun-shadows-in-cutaway/m-p/274292#M9516 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>I would like to know if there is a way to show the sun shadows in a cutaway view that is accurate.

Sunlight is getting into the building if you cut it.<BR /> Most of the programs do that.<BR /> <BR /> The only software I know, where you can cut the building without affecting light distribution is Maxwell Render. Maybe something similar exists in 3DS Max...
