Help on solar analysis

[Anonymous]

Hi All

I need to make a solar analysis on a building, i know how to make the 2D analysis. But i also have to make a 3D analysis. I got absolutely no idea what to do, to make this work, i feel as I have tried every single option. I'm trying to do something like on the attached picture

I use Revit 2019.2 

Thanks for your help!

Workflow Steps:

Open the Project

• Download and open a building element model in Revit.

For an Illuminance Rendering in Revit, you need to use a building element Revit model or the analysis will not work.

Set Project Location

• Set the Location and Weather Station for the project
  • Go the Analysis tab and open the Location tool.
  • Choose to Define Location by Internet Mapping Service.
  • Enter an address, then click Search.
  • Select the Location and click OK.
     

Create Illuminance Renderings

• From the View tab, select Render in Cloud.
• If prompted, select Continue in the dialog box that welcomes you to Rendering in the Cloud and summarizes the steps need for Illuminance rendering.
• On the next screen, select a 3D view created in the project for the illuminance rendering.

You can select one or multiple views to render at the same time.

• For Output Type, select Illuminance.
• Select the Image Size to set the resolution of the rendering.
   

Set the Illuminance and Rendering Settings

• In the Location/Time settings tab, select the date and time to be used in the rendering.

The analysis will use your model’s location, so you will not need to set the location here.

• In the Sky Model settings tab, select one of the six different sky models for the illumination rendering and set the sun’s intensity (irradiance) if needed.
• In the Legend settings tab, set the Units, the scale range, and the scale increment. 
  • For the units, select Footcandles or Lux.
  • For the scale range, specify the minimum and maximum values to be display in the rendering. Select Automatic to set the scale’s range to the minimum value and maximum value calculated in the simulation with 10 proportional subdivisions.
  • For the Scale Increment, select Logarithmic to visually distinguish between values in the lower portion of the range while still capturing very high values.
     

Start the Rendering Process

• Select Start Rendering.

Revit will notify you when your images are ready with a pop-up window in the lower corner of the Revit screen, and by email if you selected that option.

View Renderings

• Click the View tab and select Render Gallery to view and download you completed renderings online.

To access the renderings, you will need to login to Autodesk 360.
