Ci Select Library object shadow for Southern Hemisphere?

Hi all,

 

Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere for the shadows to orientate correctly on plan for the Ci Select Library (Ci Select Library - 22.05) tree objects...?

 

Seems like the shadow always reflects a location on the Northern hemisphere no matter if we locate the project in the Southern hemisphere or not, we currently have to rotate the north point 180 to make them look accurate. Even rotating the object, the shadow still reflects the Northern hemisphere.

 

Anyone with similar problem that may have a solution...?

 

Operating system used: Windows

I am using 22.08 and I can see this object has the ability to follow the sun setting from the 3D projection. 

Which object are you using?

Thanks Scott....it seems to work with that object, but what I've got shown is the Tree Beech #1184.

I have not looked at the object, but that may just be a plan view representation of a shadow.

Not the actual shadow being cast.

Have a look at the tree in 3D and you will see the true shadow.
