Yes please, this would be very helpful. I am quite often designing an outdoor structure and would like to investigate self-shadowing (for example for solar panels).
An MVP of this for me would be in Environment > Visualisation > Properties. A “Use Local Sun” or similar checkbox that lets you choose…
- Model orientation to North.
- Geographic location (or use device location or What 3 Words).
3 Date and time. There should be sliders for date and time too.
This would be quicker and simpler than an actual 3D path, and will give a quick preview of local shadows.
