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.
