we will run a sun hours and daylight potential analysis on our 3DSketch building and compare it to our original imported OBJ building.
00:17
Now that we have made changes to our imported building in 3DSketch, let's rerun the sun hours and daylight analysis.
00:27
Find the sun hours analysis.
00:34
And select our sitelimit and run "Order analysis".
00:49
Then find the daylight potential analysis and order the analysis again for that.
01:05
Once both of these analysis are completed, let's navigate back to our compare mode.
01:17
Expand the dates and times for the analysis we've run on this proposal.
01:25
Drag the earlier daylight potential analysis as well as the new daylight potential analysis we just ran.
01:38
Now we're able to see the same daylight analysis on the same site limit with our edited 3D Sketch building,
01:48
as well as our original imported OBJ building.
01:53
We can then use the inspection points again to see if there are major changes to daylight potential as a result of the new building design.
