Sunlight
You can simulate sunlight via the Sun Properties palette (see Figure 23-5). Adding sun-
light to a drawing allows you to perform sunlight studies as well as add some realism to
both indoor and outdoor renderings.
The Sun Properties palette allows you to locate the sun's position based on the
nearest large city, or by entering latitude and longitude values. You can also use Google
Earth KML or KMZ files to specify your location. In addition to location, you can desig-
nate the northern direction in your drawing to get the correct daily movement of the
sunlight in your drawing. To adjust the sunlight in a drawing, open the Sun Properties
palette by clicking the Sun & Location panel launcher (the little arrow on the panel la-
bel).
