Change proposed shadow colour

Hi,

 

Is it possible to change the shadow colour? 

 

We sometimes need to demonstrate existing vs proposed shadows using different graphics, so we end up using additional tools to create those diagrams; it would be beneficial if Forma had the option to override the proposed shadows within the tool.

 

Thanks!

I don't think there's the ability to change the color of shadows currently, but there is an inverted approach that might help: if you add the Shadow Studies extension to your project, you can create arbitrary colors for buildings and terrain to create different emphasis of shadows.

That's an interesting way of dealing with it, and it certainly could be useful in some cases. 

 

However, I would love to see Forma introducing a graphical control for proposed shadows, so it could really highlight how new massing and its shadows interact with existing site context.
