Photos have a date and time stamp…
I found an excuse to combine my love of art cars and ArchiCAD
I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent trying to match shadows in renderings to photos. Why didn’t I think of this before? All digital photos have a date and time stamp. Plug that into ArchiCAD (3D projection settings/more sun), pick your location, set your project north correctly and that should be that.

This photo was taken in my driveway in St. Paul, Minnesota. Can you tell me when it was taken?
