Shadow visualisation #11

Open JustinZarb opened 6 years ago

Try out different options for shadow display (eg. hourly shadows per day). Alternatively, create a new component that just visualises shadows for a summer and winter day (perhaps two different colours)

native Rhino sun command and render works much faster than the Ladybug/Honeybee component

Only thing missing in the native Rhino Sun & Render is a shadow-range analysis for multiple hours. Maybe possible to use Rhino API to make a script for that?

@amraladdin what do you think, does HIVE need a shadow-range analysis?

Diva has a sunpath diagram component and a shadow renderer. It looks like it's using the native rhino sun render? But I'm not sure
