-
Open a new viewport in Rhino that shows the parallel-projected view from the sun.
This is useful for understanding what parts of Rhino geometry are shaded at a particular hour of the day.
direction [Required]
A vector for the direction that the viewport camera faces.
position
A point for the position of the vieport camera in 3D space. If no point is provided, the Rhino origin will be used (0, 0, 0).
look_around
Optional 2D point (aka. UV coordinates) to tilt the viewport camera off from from the input _direction. Values for UV coordinates must be between 0 and 1 and these correspond to a tilt of 90 degrees in either direction (with 0.5, 0.5 being centered on the _direction). Inputting a native Grasshopper Slider MD component will allow the most control of view offsetting.
width
An optional interger for the width (in pixels) of the Rhino viewport that will be generated.
height
An optional interger for the height (in pixels) of the Rhino viewport that will be generated.
lens_len
An optional number that sets the lens length of the viewport camera in mm. Typical values are around 20-50mm but wider angle views can be achieved by lowering this number to 10 or less. If unspecified, the lens length of the currently active Rhino viewport will be used.
mode
An optional text input for the display mode of the Rhino viewport that will be generated. For example: Wireframe, Shaded, Rendered, etc. If unspecified, the mode of the currenlty active Rhino viewport will be used
report
The name of the viewport that was opened.
