Sun Study - Neighbours Elevation –shadows projected by buildings behind elevation marker– continued

If anybody is aware of the state of the art regarding workarounds for producing shadow studies for a neighbouring building (so that the shadows are produced by the building behind the section/elevation marker), please comment.

For some reason I can’t reply to Barry’s last email in this thread,

https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Shadow-of-the-sun-in-elevation/td-p/324388/page/2

which has a link to a reply in the old Wishes Forum which does not work any more, and which googling I think may have been this one (a method for generating the shadows on a 3D document and then distorting the result using GDL, by Laszlo)

with a 2015 comment about an easier way of doing this using a Japanese lighting plugin shown on a YouTube link that does not work any more because its YouTube account got terminated.
