]]>Shadow Colour 2.4 is Here!
We’re excited to announce the release of Shadow Colour Version 2.4, featuring focused updates that improve clarity, control, and file organization in your sun and shadow analysis workflow.
What's New?
New Masking Tool – Focus Only on What Matters
The new Masking Tool lets you hide or reveal specific areas in your sun and shadow analysis.
Use it to create cleaner visuals and direct attention to key spaces, whether it’s highlighting a facade, isolating a park, or focusing on outdoor amenities.
Perfect for reports, studies, or any time you need to simplify what’s shown.
Multi-Day Export Folder Structure
Exporting multi-day shadow studies? Shadow Colour now automatically sorts each day’s output into separate folders, helping you keep files organized and easy to manage.
Sun Analysis – Single Time Frame with Area Calculation
You can now run sun exposure analysis for a specific hour by entering the same value in both the From and To fields.
This is useful when you need to:
- Evaluate sunlight exposure at a key hour (e.g. 10 AM or 2 PM)
- Perform targeted area calculations using the area analysis feature
Shadow Colour will display the sun exposure for that exact moment. You can also apply the area calculation tool to this view, just like with broader time ranges.
Upgrade today to take full advantage of these new capabilities and enhancements.
