Summary

Naviate Daylight

Changes are available both in 2019.1.7 and 2020.1.1 if not otherwise stated in headlines.

In this release we have focused on fixing critical issues which include stability and optimisation of the functions, correct data input and output (based on specific country daylight standards), performance and UI appearance. A few improvements and content additions have been made as well.

Recalculate

A new button that allow you to re-run the calculations after you’ve made changes to the model.

Remark: Currently the modeless functionality in Naviate Daylight is not fully implemented and there are limitations on what you can edit in Revit while the dialog box is open. It is possible to edit parameters on rooms, doors, windows and delete elements from the model.
