Does anyone know of a free software application that can predict the sun shadow from basic 3D shapes, like buildings and hedges?

I've found this: Sun Shadow Applet but 2D shapes and fixed orientation are a bit too limiting.

Thanks.
 
There IS one for the Iphone - cant remember what it is - I'll have a dig around.

Edit: Sun Scout may do the business, but I'm sure theres a free one which may be better.

Thanks guys.

I don't have an iphone so any software will need to be PC/web based :)

That Suncalc tool is very useful. Cheers.
 
Doesn't Google's Sketchup have something like that?
 
Sketchup and some software wot we use will do it.

PM and I may be able to assist (a bit)

Thanks. That's given me exactly what I was after. :) Quite quickly I was able to build a simple house with trees and hedges and show how the sun casts its shadow.

It's not pretty but it works.
