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 visualizing 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.
