SunTools for SketchUp is available now
SunTools, a new Plugin for SketchUp is available now.
Plug-in Features:
- SunPATH: visualization (month and year)
- SunPOS: Sun Position for a date and time
- SunVIEW: Axonometric views from the Sun
- SunPENETRATION: Analyze Sun Penetration/Access in any specific analysis point.
Several features are work in progress or yet to be implemented. I think this is a very promising visulisation tool that helps understand local climate conditions (and is also a similar way Ecotect presents this info)
The plug-in can be downloaded after registration from: http://tx.technion.ac.il/~arrguedi/SunTools/download.html

Definitely looking forward to the next round of upgrades. Especially the periodical shade and solar volume.

Hello Guedi,
The download of version 2 is not working for me, it looks like the “agree and submit” button is not working.
