Is it possible to do Daylight Analysis natively in Archicad?
I have Octane Render too if that helps?
Surely all the data is there and just needs to be extracted?
Operating system used: Windows

Very pertinent question - sad that there appears to be no means to extract a Daylight Analysis directly from the model in Archicad

One solution is proposed by Graphisoft (additional subscription)…

you can set date/time, and if your project location and north are accurate, you can get accurate sun studies from archicad; but in terms of getting area/volume/etc. calcs, I don't thin theres a tool for that.
I have used archicad to produce ResCheck/ComCheck, just extracting areas/glazing/etc.; and I've used it to present solstice studies on relevant elevations. But nothing that is going to tabulate actual spread sheets.
