Join Paul J. Smith for an in-depth discussion in this video Animating a simple shadow study, part of SketchUp for Architecture.
- [Man] Chapter 10_03.…We're going to do a simple animated study for our last lesson.…And this isn't going to give us much in the way of analytics,…but it's certainly going to give us a good understanding…of the transit of the sun at any specific time…of the year or time of day, and then…it'll certainly impress the client…cuz they see moving things…and people like that sort of stuff.…Okay, so let's crack on with this.…What we need to do is create a couple of extra scenes…and then we just position this building…in a static sort of location.…
And we then set two times.…A sunrise and a sunset time and we transit between…one and the other with the animation enabled.…So with the scenes, we'll click plus twice…to create scene 12 and scene 13.…Scene 12 is going to be our sunrise.…And then enter and scene 13 obviously…is going to be our sunset.…And enter.…So I'll double click on sunrise to set the sunrise.…And we can dispense with that.…
Then we can come and open our shadows.…And I think I'll come down somewhere down in April.…
