Vectorial Shadows in 3D Document

[Arcadia]

I can't find any settings to change the source of the shadows in the 3D document settings. Apparently shadows for 3D documents are seperate from the 3D window and changing the sun source in the 3D window doesn't seem to change the 3D doc at all. Anyone know how I can do this?

I have reported the problem but it helps to have another voice

I think after reading all the above posts I won't bother with vectorial shadows in 3D documents. It should be much easier.

Now open the 3D projection settings/more sun the date there will will always show the last saved settings NOT the ones currently displayed.

And saved views don't do that either, not even when they are redefined.

So shadow diagrams are STILL the same as version 6?!. Cut and paste from the 3D window. For 'development applications' here, just about every project must have shadow diagrams. It's part of our standard documentation but it's always a time consuming process that's prone to human error, espescially if there are changes to the model. Surely Graphisoft can come up with an automatic version, that stamps the time, date, sunangle etc or do we wait for the new 'SUN AND SHADE BUILDER' from Cadimage.. I think I need to do a wish or pole.....
