Setting up the site for a correct shadow analysis simulation

John 2015-05-11 10:51:41


This interesting case was put through to our Forum by our users

QUESTION:
is there a way of geo-locating the building site so as to simulate and analyze projected shadows?

ANSWER:
to set up the site's coordinates simply input the values in the specific geo-location fields as described:
- open the Project Navigator's General Data node;
- type in the site's latitude and longitude data;

Then correctly set the North direction to get the most accurate results;

Now all you need to do is set the time of the day in the "Shadows" box.

On a project level, once you have selected the Orientation symbol, you can rotate it with the provided handles, defining in this way a different orientation.
