Set Sun Position

[Particular]

Some improvement ideas:

-Link up to Google Earth for location data. This could be done with a command similar to 'Get Current View' in SketchUp. This would be easier than copy/pasting latitude and longitude.

-Option to name the light object with date and time automatically, in stead of naming manually

-Add a command to create multiple sun objects at specified dates, and time intervals.This would make doing solar studies a lot easier.

-Edit the sun position (date and time) in the object info pallet rather than having to create a new light object and delete the old one.

gmm & others, although I agree that editing day and time (of light) in the OIP would be a time-saving improvement, you should be aware that you do not need to delete and re-add your "sun". Simply select the one that is already inserted into the drawing, then when you go to "Set Sun Position" any changes will be applied to the selected light (sun).
