I'm not sure if I can help right away, so probably the best place to ask is <a href="http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewforum.php?f=323" rel="nofollow">here</a>Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600574635646167378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-31222454230318994072010-08-12T11:58:23.239-04:002010-08-12T11:58:23.239-04:00Hi Jim,

We sometimes use cinema4d with a script that has set up the camera to be located at the sun position and follow the sunpath while constantly viewing/directed towards the origin (or another specified set point) where a building is normally placed. This allows the viewer to see into a building i.e where the sun will penetrate. Have you heard of anything like this for sketchup?<br /><br />Many thanks,<br /><br />KevinUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998190689704298183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-64577222529929521722009-03-18T06:14:00.000-04:002009-03-18T06:14:00.000-04:00Hi Anonymous,It's been awhile since I looked at th...Hi Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>It's been awhile since I looked at the plugin. It's really simple if you want to look at the code. <BR/><BR/>I think I use the built-in values and API methods from SketchUp so if something is off, it probably means I didn't understand the meaning of the values and API methods.<BR/><BR/>Please send me an email if there's anything more I can answer.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600574635646167378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-55221699166428880402009-03-15T23:54:00.000-04:002009-03-15T23:54:00.000-04:00Jim,This script has a lot of potential.

I used you script and compared it to a diagram I drew manually using the altitude and azmith angles for the given location and the same time of year. They don't match. This leads to some questions:<BR/>1.) Where is the horizon and standing point in the group created by the script?<BR/>2.) Is latitude and model location accounted for in your script?<BR/>3.) How do I find out what timezone 5 is and what the other time zone values are?<BR/>4.) Does the script or sketchup account for daylight savings?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29829464.post-83145613638672107162008-03-08T15:54:00.000-05:002008-03-08T15:54:00.000-05:00ditto on the site analysis comment.
