Sun and Shadow settings

Is there any way to obtain the Sun and Shadow settings using the API? We'd like to be able to use the Azimuth and Altitude angles.

This would be super neat to get in Revit 2013, as ElumTools (by AGI32) can not do daylighting calc and simulation without more of the projects geolocation and sun settings availble in the API.

 

Their full version, AGI32, can do daylighting simulation and calculation, but it requires building out the room in AGI32, which to be honest, is a real bare, especially when there's already 3d geometry available in the Revit model.

 

"Just export the Revit model to 3D DWG?"

Nope. The geometry that Revit exports is too complex and usually causes errors with AGI32. We need a better solution. I.E. allowing ElumTools to hook into Revit's sun settings.
