I am working on a sun study and want to include the sun path chart that rhino produces. I have done it in the past but a not able to figure out how I did it the first time? Anyone know how to do this? Thank you

Hi -
Rhino does not produce sun paths. If this was done in Rhino, some plug-in was used. One such plug-in is Ladybug, but this one does not look like the one that this plug-in makes…
-wim
Unless I’m missing a browser setting to display a PDF I think a screenshot would be easier to view …
Looks like the sun path from DIVA, which is now deprecated and replaced by ClimateStudio. Unsure if the path is in CS. Site Analysis — ClimateStudio latest documentation
There’s also a path in ladybug as Wim mentioned.
And one in Sunflower → https://youtu.be/FXtmiaXzqIM?t=551
maybe its dumb, i was just curious if that could work, depending on what you need it for if you only need a few snaps from the current positions you could use Rhino only.
here a quick set up using the sun. you can enter the exact date locations etc, for a rough estimate not entirely unusable. would be nice though if the data set for the sun could be used as a field function, currently you would have to enter the data whatever you want to display manually.
