When creating a solar study, you can choose from the following types.
Produces a single image that shows the shadows at the project location for a specified date and time.
For example, you can view the shadow patterns for a project in San Francisco, CA, on June 22 at noon.
Produces a single image that shows the shadows cast from the specified sun position in the active view, rather than a sun position based on project location, date, and time.
For example, you can cast 45-degree shadows on elevation views, which can then be used for rendering.
Choose a preset for an artificial sun position, such as Sunlight from Top Right, or enter values for Azimuth and Altitude to specify the sun position. The Relative to View option lets you orient the sun to match either the orientation of the view or the orientation of the model.
