Utility
A sun rig containing directions towards the sun, at a location, for all time steps in a time pattern.
Create a sun rig using a location and a time pattern.
Inputs
| Name | Nickname | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Vector | N | A vector that indicates north orientation in the XY-plane. | Vector3d |
| Location | L | The location of the sun rig. | Location |
| Time Pattern | T | The time pattern that specifies the exact points in time for the sun. | TimePattern |
| Cut Off Elevation | C | The cut off elevation angle for the sun directions in radians. Analyses will only include sun directions above this elevation. | Double |
