| - | Can cast shadows of most DataCAD entity types (including Smart Entities, although voids in Smart Entities are not supported). |
| - | Calculates the appropriate sun angles for any date/time/location. (Does not allow manual entry of angles). |
| - | Can cast shadows onto polygon surfaces at any angle. Multiple polygons are handled (e.g. TIN surfaces, Ruled surfaces). |
| - | Entites can be selected using the normal Entity/Group/Area/Fence selection, or by complete layer(s) (or by a combination of both selection methods). |
| - | Can report the shaded area and percentage of the surface that is shaded. |
| - | Suns-Eye views can be stepped through down to 1 minute intervals (available intervals are configuragle in minutes, hours or days). |
| - | Suns-Eye views can report the percentage of surface shading without the need to actually create shadows. |
| - | Shadows can be created as polylines or 3d lines. Polyline shadows can be unfilled or filled (with opacity and outline settings allowing for tranparent fills with or without outline). 3d lines are created as an outline of the shadow (for the most part any internal lines are removed). |
| - | Create shadows on existing or new layers. The macro can assign default layer names (based on date/time of the shadow), and the default format is highly user configurable. |
| - | Identify function can display location, date, time, altitude and azimuth that were used to calculate previously created shadows. |
| - | Create 2D shadow diagrams for placing on Elevation drawings etc. |
| - | Pertinent settings are stored in the drawing file (different colour/layer/outlineline types can be assigned to multiple date/time combinations and easily recalled). |
