Actions:

- I changed the parameters of measurement (from feet to meters);

- I set the orthographic view to eliminate the distortion of the figures;

- Set the reference area by clicking on "Location" and I imported the image;

- To create the volumes of the buildings I used the command "Create Mass" and changing the height, once finished the volumes I used the command "Finish Mass";

For the analysis of solar-I set the date and time with the command "Setting Sun" and I clicked on "Sun Path" and "Shadows" to get sun exposure.

The solar analysis involves my apartment located on the 7^th floor of a building in  7, Assisi street, at the corner with Tuscolana street in Appio Latino Area.  The building, composed of 6 faces, is L- shaped and appears isolated since it’s flanked by  low-rise buildings only on the side which faces on Assisi Street. It stands out for its height: 9 floors, each one made up of three apartments; even if the 3 last floors of the north-east side degrades into terraces.

L'area analizzata fa parte del III municipio di Roma,nel quartiere Montesacro. Si trova su un lotto compreso tra Via Monte Fantino, Via Picco dei Tre Signori e Via Monte Nevoso. La palazzina analizzata è composta da cinque piani e risulta cirocondata da alberi e verde, aspetto che va ad incidere ovviamente sull'ombreggiatura, ancora non contemplata in questa fase dell'analisi. 

Il primo passo per iniziare il mio lavoro è stato quello di creare un modello 3d.Descrivo molto brevemente come ho fatto.

1. ho impostato le unità di misura (immagine 1 in allegato) in metri e centimetri andando su 'manage',selezionando 'settings' ed infine 'project units'

I first changed the parameters ( from feet to meters ) , after I set the orthographic view and from the “Sun setting” command I tried my position and imported the image to create the buildings.To create the volumes of  buildings I used the command "Create Mass " and I changed the height according to the plans, and once finished I clicked on " Mass Finish " to end the operation .For the analysis of solar I clicked on "Sun Path " and " Shadows " to get the solar mask and I put the time and date when I photographed my building.
