How to Create a Sun Path Diagram | Architecture Students

A good Sun Path diagram is present in almost any architectural project. Being an architecture student, you don’t need an extremely detailed or highly accurate diagram full of numbers or figures.
This method of creating a sun path diagram is done using Adobe Illustrator as well as online resources.

[@bodnieri1212]

I have a question about the way you positioned the sun, is it calculated? or traced by the sun diagram, or do you just position it in the corner for the aesthetic? Also, thank you so much for the beautiful tutorial. I hope to see more of it!!

[@toscaleblog]

it’s traced from the sun diagram but you can choose to position it however you like, there’s no rule

[@angelicalartista]

Hi!
How did you rotate the sun in your diagram?
I'm having trouble following your steps. It's not working for me for some reason. When I select the circles and hit rotate with adjusted angle, nothing appears?

[@toscaleblog]

If you search how to use the rotate tool, it might help as there may be something you're not clicking on

[@nizarfikri8863]

thanks.

Welcome!

[@Ilokanaakapo]

May i know what app din u use for editing???

[@matalenap9748]

Illustrator

[@robelyosief879]

when i embed the map, i am still unable to edit each line, it is still an image?

[@imdawson75]

same problem here

[@nicolecasha4758]

It's not letting me make a clipping mask once everything is coloured :(

[@toscaleblog]

make sure the objects are in the correct order and there are only 2 items selected

[@richardgrant418]

Isn’t the first thing to say - what software are you doing all this in??

[@toscaleblog]

Adobe Illustrator

[@ThanasisChristodoulou]

you have to learn and the magic wand than the same, faster ...

[@user-cd6oo3uv7q]

too long for just a regular sunpath diagram.

[@spaceexploration4169]
