Sun settings updating in multiple drawings and when I only want to change 1

Hi guys, 

 

I am making some shading studies and using the Graphic Display options to do so based off this quick youtube tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwcYAE7OyJE. What I am doing is going into a section I have made, adding a camera that looks to the floor (with perspective mode unticked) and then changing the Sun Setting under the Lighting settings in the Graphic Display Options in the resulting 3D floor plan to the time and day that I want. The reason for this is so that you get the true internal shading pattern without the ceiling being clipped off and letting all the sunlight in as would occur in a regular floor plan.  The issue however is, that when I duplicate these drawings then change the time of the day so I have a still image of the sun shadow at say Autumn Equinox at 10AM then duplicate drawing and change the graphic options to Autumn Equinox 2PM, the original drawing changes its time back to this new setting too. When I duplicate a drawing and change the date however, eg. to Spring Equinox, it will not behave like this and will keep the two drawing's shade studies separate. Is there a way to disconnect these two drawings by time and display multiple shade states on the same day of the year? I hope this wasn't too confusing...

You need to duplicate the sun setting.
