In this article, we propose a renewed site-centric solution that allows us to characterize a specific region of interest by defining the extent of the surroundings that influence sunlight exposure. The proposed method is a mix of an adaptive refinement and a visual-based clipping technique. This method has been implemented in the SketchUp context and applied to three sites located next to the French historical thermal town of Aix-les-Bains.
