VKTRS Views from Sun helps you build Archicad views for diagrams that explain how the project relates to sun position and local solar requirements. Place the object, align it with project orientation, set the date range and interval, then use the 3D cones to save views that stay tied to the model as it changes.
FUNCTION
What It Does
Provides an Archicad object that drives saved views for sun-related diagrams, using orientation, date, time period, interval, and interactive 3D cones.
SYSTEM
How It Works
You place the object in the project, work with the preset tied to project orientation, set the required date, time period and sampling interval, then use the 3D cones to create individual saved views. Adjustments can be revised as the design changes and views refreshed accordingly.
Inputs
Archicad, the VKTRS Views from Sun object, project orientation context, selected date and time window, interval settings, and the model geometry the views must describe.
Outputs
Named Archicad views suitable for solar-related diagrams and documentation workflows.
OPTIONS
Controls And Capture
- Orientation aligned with the project
- Date and time period selection
- Interval control for sampling
- 3D cones to save individual views
- Object instructions for detailed operation
IMPACT
Why It Matters
It keeps sun-path view setup inside Archicad with a repeatable object-driven workflow instead of ad hoc camera placement or external calculation sheets transferred by hand.
USE CASE
Solar Diagrams And Documentation
A team needs consistent saved views for sun studies or compliance-related graphics where orientation, date and time need to stay aligned with the live model.
