3D Sun path for SketchUp
The 3D sun path file is used to create Sun diagrams, architectural diagrams, planning analysis diagrams…
Updated March 2025: I have created a SketchUp extension as a replacement for the 3D Sunpath file. It is easier to use and more convenient. Please download Extension Sun Diagram at link https://sundiagram.com/sun-diagram
If you purchased 3D Sunpath before March 19, 2025, I will send you the extension via email. Please let me know if you do not receive it.
The 3D Sunpath file is still useful for those who need it. (It is also a more budget-friendly option compared to purchasing the extension.)
Thank you! 😊
