Hi Phil:
 
Your Sketch-up sundials with moving gnomon shadows are really neat.
 
For those people who don't have Sketch-up or who don't know how to use it yet, Francois Blayteron's Shadows Pro sundial generator program will also show you moving gnomon shadows.  But Shadows Pro only shows moving shadows for simple perpendicular rod or triangular polar axis sheet gnomons.  It can't do more exotic gnomons like your ball on rod or your French sculpture, but it is easier to use than Sketch-up.
 
I still haven't learned how to use Sketch-up yet, but will keep at it..
 
thanks for sharing your drawings with us and for motivating me to keep learning Sketch-up.
 
John

Hi Sundiallists,
 
Those who followed my experiments with Virtual Sundials and Google Sketchup may like to see my latest model, based in the huge concrete dial in Provence, France, at my website : http://www.sundial.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/virtual-dials.htm
