Sunlight area calculation for a room.

[JosephLombardo]

Hi, I know there is a way to produce shadows on a plan using sun angles. Is there a way to show the shadows/ or sunlight area within a room on the floor plan?

Run a closed polyline around the desired area created with sunlight on plan and read off the enclosed or lassoed area?

Is that what you are asking?

Ok so you use doll house view and show the camera directly down at 270deg?

Can see how the cad tools work in 3d?

You have supplied a floor plan here with an orange area so noted "Light Access at 11:30am" - The suggested method was to simply resolve this area calculation.

So do a screen shot of the dolls house view you suggested and then import it into the floor plan then scale the screen shot and then do the polyline lassoo calcs. there on that.

That could work for me.

Ok thanks, that's what I was thinking, as the area shown example was from another program.

It worked!
