    Default Multiple Shadow Direction on Elevational View

    I just found a neat trick.
    I used to think it's not possible to create multiple shadow direction in Revit (tried duplicating views and yet it's still same shadow direction) in each view, but now I found a way.
    Quite simply, you just goto the view (elevation, section, 3D) and turn on advanced graphics shadow, goto option of that, and duplicate the existing "rendering" setting and save it to another one (eg. East). There you are done!
    It' great to use on Elevation sheet, when multiple of elev. view are present. (usually 2 will be in dark)

    If you check the box for Relative to View , ( below Directly, in Advanced Model graphics - Sun & Shadow Settings ), shadows will always be cast from a position relative to the viewer in all views, so you won't get a view in shadow.

    You've kept that commission for Ronchamp II very quiet until now.
