This is the list of the s/w programs involved. - Orologi Solari: gnomonic design of the bifilar sundial. The output is a DXF file containing all the elements of the sundial as wires (no thickness, no shadow)
- CAD program: 3D processing of the DXF file All the wires are given a phisical thickness i.e. they become 3D objects. The wall also becomes a 3D object that can receive the wires shadow. The sundial is also correctly oriented according to wall declination and inclination. The result is saved as a DWG file - SketchUp: 3D rendering and sun simulation The DWG file is imported into SketchUp. The 3D model is again worked for cosmetics only. The model is geolocalized. Sun simulation is then used to create different views of the sundial at different dates and times. Hope this answers your question. Do not hesitate to contact me again for any additional detail.
