one of them is the sunlight analysis

tool which again is just a baseline

analysis of how the sun will hit your

site you can change certain elements of

affects how much of the context is

analyzed and you can affect the grid

qualities of it and gives you a little

analysis another analysis tool Skema

offers is the vertical Sky component

analysis tool this one is more often
