Strange sun position in Revit

Hi

I have a question about ticket Number 88985.

  1. The user changes the sun in Ensacpe view “A” to 12:02.

  2. Set the sun setting for the same view in Revit to 12:00.

  3. User returns to Enscape and clicks View “B”.

  4. Click on View “A” and the time will be 09:41.

(1) Sun setting in Revit, (2) Sun setting in Enscape editor screen,

(3) Not clear about the difference between setting and manipulating the sun in the view edit screen.

Should I avoid saving the sun position on the Enscape view edit screen when setting the sun in Revit and prioritizing it?

Still, sometimes there is a difference between the time set in Revit and the time set in Enscape.

If the shadow position does not change, is it an error in the time display?

Best regards,

Eri

After creating the view from Enscape to Revit, you can’t update the time of day in Enscape and update the existing view in Revit. You’ll need to change the time of day in Revit (after observing the desired time of day in Enscape).

Thanks for your reply,

I misunderstood how Enscape works.

If you check “Save sun position” on Enscape view ,

“Revit sun setting” will be reset and Enscape’s default sun position and time will be set.

Share with customers who are experiencing the same problem,

I think the problem will be solved.
