Notes

  • It is recommended to use the Shadow Overlay Wizard to generate and edit the dates.
  • Sun altitude and sun azimuth are automatically recalculated based on project location and date when using the Shadow Overlay configuration wizard, but not when modifying the dates attribute directly.
  • The dates are stored as milliseconds past the defined epoch. Care should be taken when manually adjusting these numbers!
