As far as I know, beyond Autodesk Insight daylighting is not typically undertaken using dynamo. Happy for someone to mention if it is though. ---

Yes, you may check them. I highly doubt any of them are up to the challenge of daylight analysis given how complex it is in Grasshopper itself using Ladybug. You have my advice - if you wish to try Dynamo instead then it’s time for you to experiment. ---

Is that a daylight study? It looks like sunlight. ---

Sorry for being an archaeologist and digging up this topic but : did anyone here found a good tool for Revit to produce direct sunlight analysis in minutes? I see that Autodesk Insight plugin for Revit has exactly what I would be interested in - but it shows sun energy in kWh - and there is no way to change it to just minutes. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/f/5fac59ccaef6a0f1fea786b2caf5da06c135aaa1.jpeg) ---

If you’ve got Rhino on hand, give Rhino Inside a spin. For architects and most engineers in my country this is accepted industry best in show.
