CreateCurrentTimeStep

Create a presentation step that sets a selected current time. If the sun is used as the project’s light source, the displayed light on the terrain corresponds to the sunlight there is on the terrain at the selected current time. If timespans were set for data, the current time also affects the data displayed on the terrain.
