sun.Azimuth sun.Altitude for different dates with python

@Dancergraham Actualy you don’t need to change the date for Rhino Document Sun. You can create a non-document controlled Sun set the postition of it and then get the Altitude and Azimuth. import ghpythonlib.components as ghp import Rhino date = ghp.ConstructDate(2019,month,day,hour,minute,0) mySun = Rhino.Render.Sun() Rhino.Render.Sun.SetPosition(mySun, date, latitude, longitude) Altitude = mySun.Altitude Azimuth = mySun.Azimuth [Bogdan_Chipara] Bogdan_Chipara.gh (21.2 KB)

Hi,

does this help?:

import scriptcontext as sc



sun = sc.doc.Lights.Sun

print sun.TimeZone

sun.TimeZone = 8.0

print sun.TimeZone

I tried it but rh.Render.Sun.SunDirection(lat,long,date) don’t give the right direction

[anon39580149]

I tried that but the problem rh.Render.Sun.SunDirection(lat,long,date) don’t change

---

Is there another way to get Sun direction?

You can do it if you want to, but it will run much slower. import ghpythonlib.components as ghp import Rhino date = ghp.ConstructDate(2019,month,day,hour,minute,0) RhinoSun = Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc.Lights.Sun Rhino.Render.Sun.SetPosition(RhinoSun, date, latitude, longitude) Altitude = RhinoSun.Altitude Azimuth = RhinoSun.Azimuth Graham.gh (18.5 KB)

The same; sun direction is right when UTC +0, but wrong when Time zone changed

I don’t know what’s wrong with Render.Sun.SunDirection but i use Azimuth and Altitude to find sun position and sun direction
