Kinetic facade follow the sun path

Any interesting GH model is worth doing three or four times, right? :sunglasses:

Significant changes in this version:

  • Disabled the purple group at the bottom using Occlusion (Occ) to generate the grid of white points.
  • Projected the 30 center points to World XY which aligns the blue cross-sections at ground level.
  • Added a second copy of Mesh Shadow (MShadow) using the 30 World XY planes to show shadows on the ground (cyan color surfaces).
  • Used Region Union (RUnion) to join shadows together when possible.

I also deleted the unused Ladybug components from this copy to make it smaller.

P.S. MShadow, RUnion and Boundary have significant profiler burdens (times two, adds up to 1.6 seconds!) so added a Data Dam (red group) for a two second delay.
