Converting UTC sunrise and sunset values to Local Time

[egarden_fenestrapro_com]

Hello there,

I guess that there's a reason it's not exposed by the API, but would anyone know (or be able to point me in the direction of) the conversion steps or calcs necessary to get from the UTC sunrise and sunset DateTime values returned by the GetSunrise & GetSunset methods to the correct local time?

I haven't had much luck with the solutions found via Google..

Thanks in advance for your time,

Edwin

Dear Edwin,

I would assume that the reason the Revit API does not expose anything related to this is because it is completely independent of Revit and the BIM, and the generic .NET API and libraries provide ample support for it.

I see lots of useful results searching for ".net c# convert datetime utc local":

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=.net+c%23+convert+datetime+utc+local

I hope this helps.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Hello Jeremy,

Well, that's embarrasing.. I was looking at all sorts of calculations to get from UTC to local solar time etc. etc., missing the obvious.

The first StackOverflow answer from your list did the job.

Thanks for getting back though! It's appreciated.

Regards,

Edwin

Dear Edwin,

No reason for embarassment, no such thing as a silly question!

Thank you for your appreciation.

Very glad it helped.

Cheers,
