Shadow Plan

[aaronwsmith]

I am wanting to do a few shadow plans of my project showing the winter solstice, I have the latitude, longitude and time zone correct, but I'm unsure how to change the angle from project north to true north, when I click in the box where it shows the degrees, I am unable to change it. Is anyone familiar with this side of things?
Cheers!

Quick way is to adjust sun angle in accurender sun settings to approx true angle.

The view in which i am trying to show the correct sun angle is in a plan view, so as to show where the roof is going to cast shadow, so i think in this view the accurender sun settings won't have any effect. any other ideas? by the way, i have looked in the revit help menu and it says there is a command in the settings scroll down which adjusts locations and coordinates, but its not in my settings. Is there another settings menu?
