Resize the Sun Path

Modify the display size of the sun path or fit it to an updated model.

Modify display size

The display size of the sun path in a 2D or 3D view is determined by the size of the bounding box that encompasses the visible model elements. By default, the sun path is displayed at 150% of the model radius in the view. In some cases, such as when you zoom in on a view, you might find it helpful to change the display size of the sun path.

To change the display size

1. Right-click the sun path, and click Properties.
2. On the Properties palette, for Sun path size (%), enter an integer between 100 and 500, and click OK.

Fit to updated model

As you change the size of the model or the visibility of its elements, the size of the bounding box updates automatically. To update the size of the sun path in proportion to the resized bounding box, do one of the following:

• Right-click the sun path, and click Fit to Model.
• Turn off the sun path, and then turn it on again.
