Specify a project's geographic location for location-specific analyses, and change Project North and True North when needed.
When you create a project, specify the geographic location using the street address, nearest major city, or the latitude and longitude. This project-wide setting is useful for generating location-specific shadows for views that use them, such as solar studies, walkthroughs, and rendered images.
The location provides a basis for weather information, which is used during conceptual energy analysis.
You can also rotate a view to reflect True North (instead of Project North, which is the top of the view). Rotating a view to True North ensures that natural light falls on the correct sides of the building model and that the sun’s path through the sky is accurately simulated.
