To properly define the parameters of your Geodata and Simulations we recommend to first look at your site using Google Maps or Google Earth to identify interesting visual targets (e.g. lakes, rivers, mountains, green areas, etc.), to define the extension of buildings, trees, terrains, etc. We recommend to keep these extensions to the necessary to avoid excessively long simulation times and large file sizes. Here some tips to refine the default parameters and obtain better results:
- Increase the Intermediate Terrain length to increase the area the includes buildings for obstruction or visual reference purposes.
- Define the Far Terrain length to include the relevant horizon line that defines sunrises and sunsets.
- Define custom Target-View areas (e.g. mountain tops) as the area that is relevant for the analysis, not more, not less.
