Update to Sketchup Sun Position Plugin

Here's an update from Gabriel -

The biggest changes are the following:

1. The settings are now automatically saved.

2. The Sun's altitude and azimuth for the day can be saved to a html file for easy viewing.

3. The north angle in Sketchup can be customized and an option for viewing the north angle has also been added.

To anyone who already has one of the older versions of this plugin installed, this newest one is definitely worth the upgrade!

Thanks!
Gabriel

Sketchup Sun Position Plugin Version 1.0

Gabriel wrote in to announce his new Sun Position plugin:

Here is a Sketchup plugin which will draw the path that the sun travels for one day. It does this by first calculating the sun's position at the moment the plugin is run and then adding one half hour and redrawing it repeatedly until 24 hours have passed.

Nice plugin and thoroughly documented.




Thanks, Gabriel.

SunTools For SketchUp

Here's something unexpected - it's a Sun analysis tool for SketchUp.

I do not know much about it at this point, other than it written by by Guedi Capeluto (C) 2008-9 Technion - Israel Institiute of Technology. Here is the registration and download link.
