Works very well Rob. Simple installation process and I had it working on an existing survey first time. I have been looking for a simple plugin like this for ages to supplement our BRE209 stuff so thank you very much.

 

See example below for the winter solstice this year (yellow arcs were drawn using our existing software) - I changed the density of the hatch and rounded it a little.

:001_smile: Glad you like it Tony. Hope you find it useful. the tweaks you made will be necessary to personalise the output. I'm not a software developer, I just try to make AutoCAD work a bit for me. There is quite a bit of processing to convert northings and eastings to lat and long, then calculate quite a few sun position parameters. It is useful I think because it will handle as many trees as you like (don't know what the limit is), a time saver.

I'm very grateful. I've just been playing with changing the hatch to represent different foliage densities, definatley opens up the options - thanks again.

 

I have a site with approx 500 individual / group trees which could do with a decent shade analysis for dwelling layout so that should tell me how many trees it should cope with!
