Different sun per elevation / Turn off layer per viewport?

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi everyone,

I'm working on a big project, and on the elevation page, I want to show different sun settings for different elevations. Are there any way to do this?

I want to use specific time as well per elevation sheet.

Are there any way to do this?

Also, are there any ways to just show certain layers per plan viewport in archicad? There are some layers I want open in some viewport and some closed.

Thank you!

#1
Modify the sun's settings for each elevation "view".

You can copy the sun azimuth/altitude info for a specific time, from the "Sun" dialogue window.

#2
Assign layers to a "layer group".
Assign the "layer group" to your saved "view".
