No Ecotect - does Revit do same?

Hello!

 

I became rather sad when found out that Autodesk Ecotect is not available anymore.

Autodesk claims that most of its functionality is integrated in a better way to Revit.

However, there is a particular feature Ecotect could give me, but Revit seem to not:

 

It's a sun path-shade stereography.
It looks like this:

And it practically shows the shading stereography from a point on window.

 

I was trying to find same feature in Revit, but could not.

If there is such feature, would you please briefly tell how to reach it?

 

And if not, maybe there is another Autodesk software (or not Autodesk as well) which does have this feature?

 

I will be very grateful!

@s252499  Key Ecotect solutions are available in Revit and Insight 360. I would like to mention that after the acquisitions of Green Building Studio and Ecotect, Autodesk contributed 15+ enhancements to DOE-2, the goal is to keep improving the products!

 

Please find more information regarding the FAQ from the discontinuation from Ecotec.

Regarding Sun Path Visualization in Revit, you can use the Sun and Shadows settings in Revit to visualize the position of the sun at your location at any time of the day or of the year and create a Solar Graph like the one you indicated. In the following link, you can find the steps to create this Sun and Shadow study. Please me know what you think!
