SKY AND SUN OBJECT UPDATING

[Dwight]

There's been talk about problems having the sky and sun objects, when linked to the sun attitude as set in the view camera, failing to update when the sun attitude is changed.

I have been advising people that to update these objects it is necessary to rebuild the 3D view and the plan view in order to see the update.

This is flawed advice. Just this morning, I am also experiencing the problem that a general rebuild doesn't update the objects and now post yet another solution:

I've got the sky and sun objects updating WHEN THEY ARE SELECTED IN THE PLAN and then the plan is rebuilt. That seems to work in all situations.

Binary boogles...

We are starting a twelve step group for people whose lives became unmanageable through their inability to cope with the flakey sun object.

It's not the first ArchiCOPE group, however. Like Tyler Durden and Marla Singer in "Fight Club," there would be an argument over what groups to go to:

"You can have Sun Objects Anonymous on Tuesdays, I get Can't Get A Particular Material Dialog To Come Up Even After I Shift-Click Its Parent Object Anonymous on Thursdays."

Today it is the marvels of masking.
