Great wish, Mike. I, too, find it annoying to have to change these settings in each section/elevation's settings dialog (or to create duplicate elevations). It just seems more consistent to have this be a display option.
(Transparency in 3D affects sections/elevations, too ... and is memorized from the 3D settings dialog as part of a view in 9.0, but I think that that should be a display option instead as well.)
As I understand how the wish would be implemented, we're talking just about turning each of these on or off via a display option ... but the section settings would still contain the sun information for the shadows as now (indication of using the global sun position, or the specific sun position entered). But, I could see having that choice be a display option as well (of course the specific sun position would still have to be entered in the section settings).
Would be a big time saver.
