Detailed Description

The Site object and tools.

This module provides tools to build Site objects. Sites are containers for Arch objects, and also define a terrain surface

Function Documentation

makeSite()

def ArchSite.makeSite	(		objectslist = None,
			baseobj = None,
			name = "Site"
	)

makeBuilding(objectslist): creates a site including the objects from the given list.

makeSolarDiagram()

def ArchSite.makeSolarDiagram	(		longitude,
			latitude,
			scale = 1,
			complete = False,
			tz = None
	)

makeSolarDiagram(longitude,latitude,[scale,complete,tz]): returns a solar diagram as a pivy node. If complete is True, the 12 months are drawn. Tz is the timezone related to UTC (ex: -3 = UTC-3)
