# TestFit Release - 5.13 - Visualize Daylight Exposure & Improved Drive-thrus

### **TestFit 5.13: Visualize Daylight Exposure**

### **General Updates**

#### **Visualize Daylight Exposure**

Quickly assess solar performance with a new daylight visualization option in the Shadows dialog. This feature color-codes each surface based on how much sunlight it receives over a selected time period, helping you evaluate building orientation and shadow impact in early feasibility.

### **Retail Updates**

#### **Improved Drive-thru Visuals**

You can now generate buffer areas and lane dividers for drive-thru layout. This helps make your layouts more realistic while meeting your operator’s standards.
