Sun Study acting up

Anonymous
Not applicable
I merged a file from sketchup and now im trying to do a sun study but everytime the shadows completely cover the whole design and the study doesn't work. I have even tried just saving the 3d image but the same thing happens. Whats annoying the most is that the 3d window shows the shadows perfectly. Anyone know how to fix this??

Hi there,

Could you please provide pictures/screenshots?

Render Settings => Physical Sky => Compositing => Time and Location

If this setting is not set to match the model, might that cause a conflict?

Hello,

Also, make sure you have the latest updates installed, because I recall there was a bug that caused Sun Studies to go black (and I think that was fixed in an update).

In my case it wasn't fixed in 4005 hotfix.
