Sun elevation issue

Post by Mikilu »

Good day,

I have a question regarding sunlight rendering in Sweet Home 3D.

I am trying to simulate the position of the sun at certain times during summer. I have correctly set the geolocation and the angle relative to North, and everything seems to work well. I am able to create a video that shows the sun's position throughout the entire day.

The problem I’m encountering is that after 18:00, the render engine switches to night mode. However, in my case (Northern hemisphere), the sun sets around 21:00 or even later during midsummer. While the sun's angle seems to match reality, the elevation of the sun does not reflect the correct sunset time.

Is there a way to adjust this, or force Sweet Home 3D to keep the sun visible until later in the evening? I’m happy to manually adjust it per day if needed.

Thank you! [B-)]
