    Default Sun/Light Positioning

    Is there a way to position the sun or a light source at a given elevation above the ground plane? I'm trying to develop a site plan with shadows indicating obstruction of views from a single location on a very large site. The final product needs to be printable and will ideally appear as a "shadow" study, the shadows being the extent of the obstructed view from a given height.

    Real helpful, guys.

    Anyway, I ended up just creating a powerful light source and rendering it. The results aren't ideal, but I can work with them in photoshop, insert the image file and trace the shadows with fill regions.

    It's a very large airport site, so I went with a 100 million watt bulb...furreeelzz...
