Elevational Shadow Study

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 08:00:54 GMT

Hi Everyone

I am trying to draw an elevational shadow study of the shadow our new project house is casting onto a neighbors house.

House A - New House
House B - Existing Neighbour House
Distance between houses approx. 2.0m or 6 feet approx.

I can get the shadows to cast no problem, but cannot get an elevational view between the houses (eg use section tool or elevational tool) as both cut off House A and in turn the shadows it casts. Chicken and Egg.

Is there a way to do this or domes someone have an object or work around.

Thanks

Steve

Hi.
Only workarounds.
Read this thread, this thread, here, here and here.

Too bad the Youtube video in the second link is gone. It was actually quite good. The video explained how you could separate shadows and make the process a little bit easier.
Hope that helps.
Best regards.

Could you provide a sketch?
