To Calculate the Solar Exposure
-
Open the Solar Exposure Calculator dialog, choose the settings and click OK.
The solar exposure is calculated for the time and date you set.
-
In the Create Solar Exposure Output File dialog that opens, save the file.
By default, the output file is given the same name as the original file with a _Solar extension to the name, for example, Building_Solar.dgn. Results are stored as 3D, intelligent mesh objects that can be interactively queried, viewed or published.
The newly saved file automatically opens displaying the solar exposure.
