1001 Shadows for SketchUp features

1001shadows allows architects and planners to analyse effect of light and shadow from a potential new development.

Point shadow duration – The duration where a certain point fall under shadow can be analysed.

Solid shadows generation – ‘Freeze time’ by generating solid shadows for selected durations. This is ideal for visualising the effect of shadows on surfaces through time.

Sky exposure – Pick a point to analyse the extent of exposure to open sky.

Shadow profiles of each session are grouped separately by time and placed on a common layer

Table of shadow angle projection are listed in a .csv file. The layer name is recorded on the data sheet to facilitate cross referencing with the SKP file.
