Empowering Sustainable Landscape Decisions
Sunscape® Applications create sun exposure maps that save time, improve results, and make sustainable landscape planning and design easier.
Smart and easy-to-use Sunscape® Extension and Sunscape® Application create cumulative day-time and date-range sun exposure maps on 3D model surfaces displayed in Sunscape® Interactive Viewer.
Simultaneously create any number of Sunscape® Maps for the chosen model surfaces.
Orbit or zoom into Sunscape Maps in the drop down menu to determine the right plants for a place and the right place for planting, structure placement, and outdoor living/recreation areas that provide the right sun exposure at the right time.
Sunscape Maps empower landscape design and planning decisions for fact-driven, sustainable landscape success.
When we work with nature, nature works for us.

Sunscape® Map Use Cases
Use saved Sunscape map images as pre-design model overlays and use sun exposure to help guide the layout process.
Add an object, create Sunscape maps of the altered model to observe sun exposure on the object and the effect of the object’s shadow on surrounding areas.
Simultaneously create morning, afternoon, and full day Sunscape maps to identify the perfect location for the functional success of planting areas, outdoor living/play areas, and structures.
