Simulate sun position and lights/shadows
Hi,

We are currently designing our futur house, and would like to optimize the windows position and size.

I'm new to SweetHome3D, and I would like to know if it is possible to simulate the sun position, according to the date and time, and have the lights/shadows visible in the house? Is it possible to implement such feature through the plugins mecanism?

Another way could be to design the house in SweetHome3D, export it, re-import it in Blender, and write a script for Blender (as I'm a python developer, this last step would be easier for me, but I don't know if the export/import step is easy or not).

Note that we don't need a very high level of details, but only the volumes of the room and furnitures...

Thanks for any suggestion!
