Hi all,  
I have a question regarding finding packages related to Daylight analysis in Dynamo.  
What are the most suitable packages for Daylight analysis?? I have seen some works but I can not find related packages, or any other ways as alternatives.

 ![Workflow-01](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/5/65b023b40c749fa1190f08ff753d143908d5ac02.jpeg)

I want to do daylighting analysis based on this above Model but i couldnt find more than half of the nodes, can some body tells me alternatives for these nodes?  
For example, how can I choose Perez Sky Model in Dynamo?

There is a solar analysis package which may do what you are after. You can also use vasa for shadow studies.

Dear Jacob,  
Thanks for your answer, I have tried to install the “Solar Analysis For Dynamo” package but nothing does show up. Now I am stuck in this daylighting analysis.  
Maybe, it is because of the version of Revit 2022 and Dynamo 2.12 that I use, as I read the Daylighting workflow packages are no longer supported in Dynamo after Revit 2019.

From the package Tab and search for a package button  
I can see the package in Dynamo → preferences → package manager  
but i can not see in add-on tab so can not use it, I think it is a bug.

What is the directory you installed it to? Can you see the package files there? Is any package trying to load off a network? Could you have multiple of the same version?

Yes, yes it was my mistake, I have changed something in download directory and it causes this problem.  
Many thanks for your help, I will try to replace the workflow nodes with the solar analysis package nodes.
