Drawing the Sun's Path?
-
I'd like to illustrate the path of the sun in a model. I can turn on shadows and use the date & time picker to see where the shadows fall, but I can't figure out how to actually draw the path of the sun. A quick Google search returns some old (ca. 2009) plugins that do this, but nothing that looks recent.
Just wondering if anybody has an idea about how to do this?

1001 Shadows hasn't been updated but DOES work in 2014 Pro. Here's the website: http://www.1001shadows.com/en/

The plugin generates a series of shadow outlines. I don't think it draws the path of the sun.

adt2, Did you try the SunTools plugin by Guedi Capeluto? Did it work for you?

1001Shadows doesn't appear to do the sun's path - just the shadow outlines. That might be useful in the future, but isn't quite what I'm looking for just now.
SunTools might work great, but it requires registering to download, which I'm not wild about.

Sorry it's not what you were looking for, but at least we now know that 1001Shadows works with SU14 Pro! Hope someone else can chime in with a better solution for you.

I don't know if any use for what you want but Jim made a plugin that attaches the camera to the sun.

Or Jims Map Sun?
