You can either have the resulting animation shown immediately on the screen, or save these images in the desired file format and show them in the future using a movie viewer on any platform.Īll the projections in a Sun Study will be generated in accordance with the current parallel projection or perspective view, including Sun Position, defined in the 3D Projection Settings dialog box.

Note: Based on these data, ARCHICAD uses the Solar Position Algorithm from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (USA) to calculate the solar zenith and azimuth angles.įor information on this algorithm, see: Solar Position Algorithm. The geographic location of your project, including Project North, is defined at Options > Project Preferences > Project Location.

What you actually see is a series of simple or photorendered 3D images defined by the current 3D Projection Settings, the current 3D Style or PhotoRendering Settings, and the Sun Position settings. Sun Studies allow you to view an entire project or a selected part of it in a real-life situation by choosing a geographic location and defining the time period over which you wish to examine lighting and shadow casting. To use this feature, use Document > Creative Imaging > Create Sun Study.
