ManualControlOn

bool: Manual control ‘on’ state. When true, allows the user to set the sun azimuth and altitude directly. When false, the values are computed.

North

float: Angle in degrees on world X-Y plane that should be considered north in the model. The angle is measured starting at the x-axis and increases anti-clockwise. The y-axis corresponds to a ‘north’ angle of 90 degrees.

Azimuth

float: The sun’s azimuth in degrees. The value increases Eastwards with North as zero. Setting this value will also set the sun to manual control mode. Note: This value is not affected by the direction of north.

Altitude

float: The sun’s altitude above the horizon in degrees in the range -90 to +90. Setting this value will also set the sun to manual control mode.

Latitude

float: The observer’s latitude.

Longitude

float: The observer’s longitude.

TimeZone

float: The observer’s time zone measured in hours relative to UTC.

DaylightSavingOn

bool: Daylight saving time ‘on’ state

DaylightSavingMinutes

int: Daylight saving time in minutes

Hours
Intensity

float: Sun intensity.

IsValid
Light

Geometry.Light: Get a Light which represents the sun. If manual control is in effect, no sun calculation is performed; the function uses the last known values of azimuth and altitude. If manual control is not in effect, the observer’s position, date, time, time zone and daylight saving values are used to calculate the position of the sun.
