Sustainability should start early, not as an afterthought.

With Snaptrude, you can run a Sun Hours analysis directly on your massing to guide smarter design decisions.

Here’s what it enables:

✓ Compare orientations and daylight exposure in real time

✓ Explore facade strategies based on accurate, location-specific data

✓ Attach reference materials and specifications in Present Mode

✓ Keep performance and design decisions connected from day one

From concept to presentation, sustainability stays part of the workflow.

What You'll Learn

  • Run a sun hours analysis directly on your massing model
  • Compare how different orientations affect daylight exposure
  • Use location-tied results to start facade material decisions early
  • Attach reference materials in present mode to keep performance and design connected

Transcript

Sustainability should start early, not as an afterthought. In Snaptrude, I can run a sun hours analysis directly on my massing to see how much daylight different orientations receive. This helps me compare design options and start thinking about facade strategies. The results are tied to the project's location, so I know they're accurate. In present mode, I can also attach reference materials or specifications to guide discussions. This way, performance and design decisions stay connected from the start. Try now at snapsh.com.
