Is there a compatible solar north extension for Pro 2021?

Hi Dave R,
Will do.
Was put off by the incompatibility alert.
It seems that compatibility thing doesnāt get updated when it ought to. I think extension authors are busy doing other things.
Iāve just noticed that solar north is scene specific (tied to the scene shadow settings), rather than global.
Has this always been the case?
I donāt remember having to save the north information for different scenes before, but I might have just encountered this particular scenario today.
Yes, it had been that way in previous versions too.

If you set solar north before you start creating scenes, you only need to set it once and not before creating every scene. Like most other scene properties, if you change it for one scene, it only affects that scene.

Yeah this is what I must have done before.
Iāve been updating templates with the new tag folders so I have just noticed the north point behavior.
Thanks. I never noticed that myself.
I havenāt noticed that either. Would be handy for creating those 45 degree shadows to all elevations.

I was thinking that too. Iāve been spinning the model as a component relative to north. I didnāt know you could set north for each scene.
And I just tested. The north direction setting is global and affects all scenes (The āProperties to saveā list doesnāt have an item for north direction). It used to be different before, if I remember right, version 5 or so.
for this model, it works, the shadows getās remembered
must have hit āfogā instead of ālogā

Thatās what you get for driving into the middle of a busy round about.
