What you get
The calculation result stays connected to the BIM model and can be checked visually.
A result inside the model
Solar Exposure writes the calculated exposure duration to a selected writable text parameter, so the result can stay with the BIM model.
Window geometry matters
Use window width, depth and calculation-point offsets to represent the conditions around the target more accurately.
See why a point is exposed or shaded
Preview Rays draws the sampled solar directions so you can inspect shading instead of relying only on the final number.
How it works
From selected Revit elements to a reviewable result in three steps.
01
Select the facade targets you want to evaluate
02
Choose the calculation profile or custom solar conditions
03
Run the calculation, review the stored result and validate it with Preview Rays when needed
Why use BIMO for this workflow
Calculation, validation and further work with the result stay in one Revit workflow.
Stay inside Revit
Run the analysis directly against the project model without exporting geometry to a separate application.
Keep the result in BIM
Store the result on Revit elements and continue using it in filters, schedules and design coordination workflows.
Move from number to explanation
Solar Exposure works together with Preview Rays, while Insolation Hill extends the same solar workflow into spatial design constraints.
Detailed calculation profiles, settings, result rules and target requirements are maintained in the documentation.
