SUN SHADOWS
When designing buildings is is often a requirement of local authorities to request shadow diagrams. Particularly with multi story developments or town planning. SoftPlan allows you to set the time, date and location (Latitude and Longitude) for any where in the world, then produce sun shadow diagrams / images and animation files.
Animation
Apart
from pleasing councils with overshadowing regulations, shadow information can
be used to design better buildings, with the use of animation. Animation of
the suns shadows can be produced for a full day or a full year, these sun studies
can be used to view the effects of building orientation, opening sizes and roof
overhang etc. Animations could also be used as a sales tool for that special
job where clients demand it.
