Create a sun light - script help needed

[Micha_cg]

Hi,

I'm not happy with the Rhino sunlight command, because the placement isn't the best. Today I got the idea to create my own button, but something dosn't work. Here my raw button script, that show the idea:

_DirectionalLight
_sellast
_visMakeSunLight

The problem is, that sellast dosn't wait for the creation of the directional light. Doe's anybody know, how I can solve the problem? Damien?

Ciao,
Micha

_sellast
_visMakeSunLight

visMakeSunLight?!?!? Awesome! Is there a way we can "un-make" a sunlight? I frequently go back & forth between physical & default camera setups so this would be pretty nifty if I could use the same directional light.

Here you go. This basically replaces the Directional Light with a new one. There's no way to test whether its really a sunlight, but its close enough. Just save this in a location that you won't move around, then drag and drop onto a running instance of Rhino. This adds the alias "visSunToDir" and will run the script for you. Enjoy
