Model attributes (Shadow Overlay)
The heat overlay's model calculations depend on a number of calculation-wide parameters. These parameters are available as attributes of the heat overlay and can be modified as such.
| Icon | Attribute | Unit | Range | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DATES | time in milliseconds | Dates define the amount of timeframes and are used to define the day and time for calculating sun angles. | 1375444800000 | ||
| FOLIAGE_AREAS | boolean | Whether to use foliage data from Areas instead of the calculated foliage decks from functions with a foliage crown factor. | 0 | ||
| MAX_SHADOW_DISTANCE | m | 100 to 1000 | The maximum length of a shadow. | 500 | |
| SUN_ALTITUDE | angle (0-90°) | The sun angle up from the horizon. | 49.71 | ||
| SUN_AZIMUTH | geo angle (0-360°) | -1.7976931348623157E308 to 1.7976931348623157E308 | The angle of the sun along the horizon. | 140.03 |
Notes
- When the DATES attribute is configured for multiple timeframes, the Hourly, Sun, and Wind attributes should have an equal amount of entries. When using the Heat Overlay configuration wizard, the necessary entries are created automatically.
