Excellent sources, thank you. It occurs to me that I might want to build an
upper deck over the South windows, where the river view is. I can use this
software to make the deck act as a sun shade in the summer without blocking the
view - and have an upper deck to sit on as well.
Thanks!

Bill,
I have not used this service but plan to. www.emachineshop.
I am hoping the sundial mailing list may be able to give me suggestions
on affordable software for design and rapid-prototyping. I want to be
able to design and rapid-prototype small sundial models or parts.

Sunlight and shadow can be harnessed to provide warmth in winter and shade in
summer. Solar geometry, i.e. gnomonics, is the name of the game. This is of
