    Question Shadow Plan

    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!

    Hi aaron there are issues with shadows and true / project north

    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?
