Question
how do you set object angle eg it’s orientation re North and also objects length and width Your windows version can
Some instructions would be nice
If I hadn't already used the website I'd have not known what units it was in or even how to cam hangs time zones (fairly certain the hemisphere is correct but would be nice for some verification) would be nice to have an info link that at least took users to website. this is an extremely powerful tool but at the moment not worth the money I paid for it. Looking forward to future releases and hopefully the ability to zoom straight to a web map/image 🙂
Superb app!
This is an excellent app. I have found it extremely useful in planning garden plantings around my property. I have measured the actual shadows cast in a number of sites and found them to be exactly as predicted by the app.
I am puzzled as to why a couple of other reviews found the app disappointing. Perhaps they made my initial silly mistake of confusing north with west on the scene screen!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the feedback. Version 4 is out today and adds a north indicator arrow in the scene. It also addresses many other bugs and adds a raft of new features. Please check it out!
