<abstract>
<p>This research presents a methodology for conducting shadow geometric analysis, specifically the shadow boundary in an urban model. Input data include a georeferenced CityGML LoD2 and terrain model. Additional land cover data is used to exclude some parts of the model from analysis. Shadow computation is based on a sunray vector, which is computed based on the sun position on the given day and time. The geometry of original models are divided into parts classified as either exposed to the sun or shaded. It can be used for analytical purposes in other applications, such as urban planning, energy assessment, and photovoltaic potentiality analysis, by accurately identifying sunlit and shaded areas within 3D city models. The analysis is performed in the FME software package, which is a general-purpose ETL tool.</p>
