Hello again,

Another problem I'm seeing is that whenever I turn shadows on and render (with hidden line and shadows on...so not really rendering) the position of the shadows seems to be very inconsistent and jumpy. I don't have a solar study on or anything like that, so I would imagine the shadows should stay in place. Any help?? thanks.

Well, never mind.

The problem was that I had the sun lighting set to Top Right, which apparently is a relative position. I now have it on Summer Equinox and it's working fine.

Well, never mind again. Even though the shadows stay in about the same place here, there's still tons of glitchy frames that screw up the whole effect...pity. I hope Revit 2011 fixes this...

It would be better to ask a WU2 for this... Why wait one year for something that should work?
