Daylight Grids

Daylight Grids are used to analyse daylight performance and are added per level in your model. Each level can have multiple grids, and these can be combined with automatically generated daylight grids for more detailed analysis.

Add a Daylight Grid

To add a Daylight Grid, start by selecting Levels on the left, then choose a level and click ‘Add Daylight Grid’. Turn on the Layers for the relevant zone, click the ‘Add Grids’ icon, and draw your grid in the drawing space. To add a single line for analysis, use ‘Add lines’ and draw a Daylight Grid line.

Mode

By default, grids are drawn in the ‘Include Grid in this Area’ mode. If you need to exclude part of the area, switch to ‘Exclude Grid from this Area’ before drawing.

Delete a Daylight Grid

To delete a Daylight Grid, go back to the Levels panel, find the Daylight Grid icon and click ‘Delete Daylight Grid’, then confirm. Alternatively, you can delete it directly within the drawing space.
