<-- Uptown Ducks home How to monitor a duck's shade situation from a remote location: By measuring the vertical and horizontal angles of the sun, a cube can be generated in a 3D CAD modeling program whose opposite vertices replicate the composite angle (vector) of the sun's position at any given time of the day. The duck awning and the duck dimensions and orientations are entered into the same database as the sun cube. By aligning the opposite vertices of the sun cube, one can see exactly the shade status of the duck. |
