Toggle Sun Panel Not Working

Hello! I have downloaded the latest version of Rhino 7. The last couple of weeks this command has stopped working. I can turn on the sun option panel, but there are no shadows and lighting you would normally see. I have adjusted and reset to default for all my render modes, especially the artic and rendered views.

I would like to know if anyone has the same problem or if know how to solve it.

Thank you.

I don’t think sun is supposed to work on arctic - but shadows can be toggled on/off

Hi Maryam - set Rhino Render as the current renderer and see if that makes a diifernce. If not. block (disable) Vray and Enscape in Options > Plug-ins page and then close and restart Rhino - does that make a difference?
And, yeah, in Arctic the sun does not affect the display - but rendered mode should pay attention.

Also: your Nvidia driver appears to be almost 3 years old. You might want to update that to see if it improves anything.
