Hello. I am setting my location on Earth to have true shadows in my building, but every time I close and reopen the file the location reset back to the USA. Is that a bug?

Hi Jeremy - [image] Jeremy: So either the sample file I downloaded from Youtrack is not representative of the OP’s troublesome ones […] Thanks for trying that. It seems like the sample file no longer represents a reproducible case. I reduced the OP’s file from the original 118 MB to somethin…

[image] Wim Dekeyser: Just to make sure, are you opening that file in Rhino 7 or in Rhino 8? This is in R7

[image] Jeremy: This is in R7 Darn. Thanks for confirming! -wim

As a side issue, could the “Here” button be relabelled to “Or here” or “Use default” or something and/or be moved, to show that it is an alternative to the list and not a button to cement a choice from the list?

Hi - [image] Jeremy: […] to show that it is an alternative to the list and not a button to cement a choice from the list? Personally, it never struck me as a button to confirm a choice - and I’m not sure if we use such paradigm anywhere in Rhino. Do you find it equally confusing in the Sun …

I’ll restrict my comments to the Beta. I think the location crosshair introduced in R8 is better than the word “Here”. Let’s have it in both places. I have a different problem with the new R8 “Now” position. I take it to mean that I want to set the time settings to the present moment. But by moving…

The following may be too simple, but is a possibile cause of the OP’s difficulty. [image] Ar00302: I am setting my location on Earth to have true shadows in my building, but every time I close and reopen the file the location reset back to the USA. Is that a bug? @ar00302 Are you saving the…

Of course, I save the file after setting the location. Basic Windows operations. I wouldn’t expect to hold the location if I just set it and then closed it without saving. I haven’t tried to make a save as. I will also remove the SketchUp file which I have attached as a block, to see if that affec…

Here is a button that reads the position from the operating system and finds the nearest town. It’s helpful not to try to find the location in the drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can set manual lat and long. This is more precise but it does not make any huge difference even in a country size. (ex…

I made simultaneously a save as and a block removal and now it holds the location. I will check again and I will report which of the two caused the problem.
