Gwyn Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I recently switched from Formz 6 to 8 1.jpg shows settings for sun study in Formz8 and 2.jpg shows settings in 6.6 – resulting shadow is shown in shadow.jpg. Both are same file, with Vancouver Canada as location and Autumnal Equinox (with DST Set) for date, time Noon. V8 shows Altitude as 48.37 & Azimuth as 18.44 from South V6.6 shows Altitude as 39.36 & Azimuth as 21.22 from south Is this discrepancy a bug or am I doing something wrong? Does anyone know what values should be for this time and date and location? I emailed support as well. Time is critical so quick info is appreciated.

Des Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I've just compared V8.0.1 with v6.7.3 side by side and I can't see any discrepancies, but that is not to say that a file created in v6 and then opened in v8 won't give problems. But just to be sure, I would create a new sun and delete the old one. There may be a translation thing going on. I've compared multiple cities and all match up. As Dennis says, support will help you out better when they get back. Des Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwyn Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks all - And happy thanksgiving Support and American users - I forgot it was an American holiday! I'll figure it out this Am. Probably something silly, or a bug in this massive file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
