Floor Plan Shadow Studies

[amorie]

Is there a way to show a multi-time shadow study in floor plan view that includes the roof structure overhead? If the roof (or ceiling) were included, then the study would show the sun trace through wall openings through-out the day to the interior portions of the room.

Short answer: No. Would be useful, and has been asked for years.

Doesnt help here, but in Max you can exclude (hide) an object from view but still have it cast shadows. Seems like an easy thing to do.... "They" need to fix it. ;)
