The command displays “Time settings” dialog,
where it is possible to define the period of insolation duration testing and insolation testing precession
(depends on “Time increment” value).
Fill free to use pop-up calendar control to specify desired date and time by clicking a trigger button attached to the right edge of apropriate time input field. Note
It is important to set reasonable <Time increment> value. If the test period (<End time> – <Start time>)
is about a year, then the reasonable <Time increment> = 86400 seconds (60sec*60min*24hours = 1 day).
Anyway after changing time settings the plugin asks about sun scale regeneration (actually it is necessary step,
that commits new time settings changes) and informs about how many check steps
will be made during insolation calculation. The reasonable check steps count is less, than 1000.
It is possible to get <Start time> and <End time> from Sketchup’s “Shadow Settings” palette. See Also
