Revit – Solar Radiation Technology Preview – Part 2
Software : Autodesk Revit Architecture 2010 and Autodesk Revit MEP 2010
Description : This is the second video tutorial in a series exploring the integration of geometry creation and solar radiation analysis in a variety of platforms. The video utilizes the new Solar Radiation Technology Preview, available from Autodesk LABS. You must install Update 1 for Revit Architecture 2010 and Revit MEP 2010 in order to run the technology preview. This tutorial is based on a student project by Nash Hurley. In the first part we will show how masses created in the conceptual mass environment can be brought into a Revit project, where their location and orientation can be set. In the second part we will use the solar radiation preview to load weather data and set date and time ranges to analyze our geometry. We will then make changes to the date and time in order to understand the effects of changing these ranges on our analysis results. Finally, we will produce an image that will then be published to the project environment. If you use the tool, please give feedback.
Topics Covered:
- Loading Weather Data and Setting Date/Time Ranges
- Specifying Geometry to Ignore
- Running Solar Radiation Calculations
- Understanding Results
- Publishing To Project

great tut and add-in, just what i needed for my project
wow that’s really nice.. revit it getting better and better as a program for architects.
hey I know this is not the place but can someone help me out with this…thanks in advance

great! very helpful
I cant seem to find a “report abuse” button in the forums, but your “General” listing is getting spammed:

how about add in ? where can me down it ?
Nifty! as simple as it should be. I doublechecked on the sun path manually and the result seems plausible.
Hey! this technology is incredible. Nevertheless it seems that it’s not possible to download the “Solar radiation technology preview” from the link you have provided…
Is there any other place where I can find it?
Thanks!

i had the same problem.
