sunpath diagrams

What tools do folks use to generate SunPath diagrams? We've looked at several alternatives, but have hit dead ends in many cases. Sketchup plug-in seem to focus on solar load (which is important, but not what I'm looking for in this instance) Or we run into dead ends - SunTools being an example. Any thoughts / alternative appreciated.

@dradair I am not sure if that's exactly what you want but have your tried UCLA's Climate Consultant? You can download it here.

Yes we use Climate Consultant, but the solar data is just a 2D plot of the data.... I realizes now I was pretty unclear. I'm looking for something with might show the suns position / path with respect to a 3D model, typically in Sketchup. Yes sketchup can do time dependent shadows, other have other plug-ins that do the sun/solar on the glazing....just looking to add in the sun path/position type data.

You can upload certain file types and view them with a 3D analemma on Ladybug Web.
