algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Dear all,

Here is an C# block that will calculate the solar position for a given coordinate on the earth at a given moment, and gives back the azimuth, elevation (altitude) and a vector pointing at the sun's position. The guys from uto also made an implementation that I think still has nice features (also solar exposure values), but this should be sufficient for basic calculations.

The script is adapted from a script posted by Mikael Nillsson

Best of luck,

Arend

Thanks Arend.

I used your script as a basis in the solar calculations here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/solar-calculation-plugin

Cheers, e
