Shadows from above the cut plane

Shadows from above the cut plane

I would like an option to show shadows from above the cut plane.

 

With this option, we could have floor plans with the real sunlight entering through the windows, ground floor plans with the building shadow at the surroundings, etc.

This would be invaluable, also option to turn on shadows from hidden objects, often I need to hide a wall for example to make an item more visible but I would actually like to retain the shadows for effect.

This can be done now with the Camera command and "perspective" turned off (via options bar) during placement. This example below is rendered, but also works for hidden line and shaded view settings. Of course this is a 3D view and not a plan view. So it would be nice to do in plan views as well. But just want to share this...daylight example.jpg

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.
