Cool! thanks Jim.

An excellent little tool! Combined with some face me components and you can easily work out the logistics of sun following solar panels.

One small "bug" if you try to close your file with the tool active you get locked out of the do you want to save dialog.

Thanks Jim. This tool is great. I can easily see what parts of my building are exposed to the sun at any given time.

Cheers

You're welcome. I'm glad it's useful.

Hey Jim,
Very cool tool, thanks!
Little prob: on SU8 Pro, OS X version, I cannot deactivate the "Attach Camera to Sun" menu item. It keeps showing as checked, and keeps following the sun.
Could you please fix?
Thx..!
