About this asset

This classical stone sundial Revit family is a detailed garden ornament featuring a textured pedestal and a precise metal gnomon. Designed with a traditional aesthetic, this sundial features a square, flat stone dial plate etched with Roman numerals and a central, slender metal gnomon. The piece is supported by a robust, cylindrical stone pedestal with a slightly tapered profile, resting upon a circular base. The surfaces exhibit a realistic stone texture with fine detailing on the dial plate and base. This standalone element provides a focal point for exterior spaces, combining historical charm with durable material representation. Every component is modelled to maintain a high level of visual fidelity for architectural rendering projects.

The download is a 410 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a standard Revit family, this asset is designed for easy placement within site plans or 3D landscape views. Users can load the file into their project environment and position it using standard host-based tools or manual placement. The material parameters allow for adjustments to match specific stone finishes or metal patinas required by the design intent. Ensure the orientation is aligned with the project north or sun path settings to accurately represent the shadow casting of the gnomon in daylight studies.

Ideal for residential garden designs, courtyard layouts, or historical restoration projects, this sundial serves as a sophisticated decorative feature. It integrates well into landscaped courtyards, stone-paved patios, or traditional estate grounds. Professionals looking to add character to outdoor living areas or public park designs will find this model useful for enhancing site plans and exterior visualisations. It pairs effectively with stone paving, gravel paths, and manicured shrubbery, providing a sense of timelessness to any exterior environment or site masterplan.
