Sun settings specify the position of the sun in a view.
Use sun settings for the sun path, solar studies, walkthroughs, and rendered images.
Use the Sun Settings dialog to define the sun's position by date, time, and geographic location, or enter azimuth and altitude values to see shadows cast from a sun position that is independent of time and place.
Sun setting presets are predefined sun settings that give you easy access to dates and times of interest.
Each solar study mode has key presets, such as solstices, equinoxes, and seasonal ranges. In addition, you can create your own presets, thereby saving specific sun settings for quick, repeatable access to dates and times of interest.
Each solar study mode has an in-session preset. Using this preset, you can specify a temporary setting for the sun in the active view and see changes in shadow patterns. You can then save the sun setting as a user-defined preset.
