My Revit application would not produce a solar radiation diagram on the surfaces. My conceptual design is still under works as I am just getting used to Revit.

I want my design to be a big house complete with a bowling alley, theater room, atriums, garage, sun room, various sunlights, etc. and situated in a position to allow sun through the glass for winter while barring it in the summer thanks to PV awnings. This will allow fro more heat to be absorbed in the winter and less in the summer.
