Sun Sky - Sun Positioning
The SunSky actor provides accurate sun positioning. Set the Location data of the scene's location and use the North Offset to align the north direction with the floorplan.
Architectural drawings of the parcel usually have north pointed straight upwards. Floor plans have should have a compass on it.
The Date and Time can be set here but will be overwritten in game with the default slider settings. Best to keep values in sync.
Additional Settings - Camera
If you wonder where the default settings went - they are now set within the slider value arrays.Orbital Camera is a camera on a boom that circles around the player. It can be used to have a fixed camera that can rotate around outside of a building.
Currently there is no switch between Orbital and standard camera while playing.
The mouse wheel can zoom in and out, and the mouse wheel button resets the zoom.
Additional Settings - Game
Game settings will only work in a stand alone or a packaged version of the app. They don't work in play in editor windows.Resolution has some common resolutions pre-set. Set min / max index for the slider range. This is only useful for PC applications. The resolution slider is hidden in VR games.
A better way to reduce the resolutions is with the Screen Scale slider.
