prima esercitazione - solar study

In this first exercise I tried to build a model of my building with the program Project Vasari.
My first step was to import from googlemaps a areal view of the location (in front of stazione tiburtina).
With the command line I drew the perimeter of my building which was subsequently extruded with the command create mass.
I found it particularly difficult to rebuld the form of my building since the building has no flat facades but a lot of balconies in diffrent sizes. I tried to simplify the form but the building in reality produses no clean shadows wich complicated the comparison with the fotos later on.
To study the sun and shadows produced by the building I used the command sun setting which make it also possible to enter the date and time.
To see the shadows, I set the sun and shadow icon on On.
