Building Height Calculator
Building Height Calculator v1.0.ms
The idea behind Building Height Calculator
was to write a script that uses simple
trigonometry to calculate and extrude a
a building to a height derived from its
shadow length on an aerial photo.
Mainly to be used in massing models for
surrounding context.
But could also be used to find the maximum
height for a proposed scheme where
shadowing is of main concern.

Due to restricted bandwidth
Due to restricted bandwidth you may not be able to access my site or the MaxScripts there until next month. Sorry.
I hadn't predicted so much interest. If you've downloaded and used the script above I hope you have found it most helpful.
