Hello,

First of all, I'm new to this mailinglist and to GrassGIS in general.
Welcome

So, I'm trying to use the `r.sunmask` command in order to extract the shadow from an `SRTM DEM` of the Alps mountains (Switzerland).
The image had to be first `reprojected` when I've imported it to a `EPSG:21781` location, in order to get both the (lat, lon) in meters (similarly to the elevation).

Here is the command I'm executing (note that the time of the day was chosen at 09:00 in the morning to maximize the shadow):

r.sunmask elevation=n46_e006_1arc_v3@PERMANENT output=alps-sunmask.tif year=2014 month=9 day=23 hour=9 minute=0 timezone=1

The problem I have is that the image produced is emtpy (no-data everywhere).
Is there a parameter I'm forgetting to add to the `r.sunmask` command?
Or should I use `r.sun` command instead, even though I'm not sure about the parameters I should provide to it either ?
Most likely you need to set the region to your DEM.
g.region -p rast=n46_e006_1arc_v3@PERMANENT

FAQ #1 when using GRASS: Always set the region first
