Unless I'm mistaken, you're dealing with a number of different things.

The sunpath widget is just that, your site need not be contained within, nor it aligned directly above it, for the "sun" to be correct. It is but a graphical device. Which, if one is only concerned by the it's inclusion in graphical output, is governed, as you rightly presume, by the sheer extents of your model space - linked .dwgs inclusive. If you can not live with the latter, you could always counter their "pull" of (off) centre by introducing counter-opposite elements to further extend your model and bring the widget "back" to centre.

Do bear in mind, when working with the "Sun" (in Revit) there are four norths you need to consider:
(Revit) Project North & (Revit) True North
(Polar) North & (Solar) North

They can all be the same, but are not.

The first pair get discussed an awful lot, the second much less so.

There are an extensive number of threads on the former, and a couple of comprehensive ones on the latter - links to which can be found with a bit of forum/web search.

HTH

Thanks! Will check this out

Glad to be of assistance. But please don't multi-post, I'll delete your second thread now.

*thread merger*

any idea how to solve this?

Whilst you say it's not a printing issue, it most certainly is a conversion-to-raster one.


Your .tiff (and any image file output for that matter) has little relation to the scale of Revit realm - it relates more to the size of the view (extents) and the export settings then elected.

As per the included, a 226x227 mm view (mine was 1:100) exports, at 100%, 600DPI, to an image 5332x5361 - and, as per the quicky hacky Excel maths, you will see that scale-ratio (?) is in the order of, but note not an exact pairing to mm=inch conversion. Or, even, perhaps by chance* dot pitch?


Ultimately, this is the limit of my understanding - and interest on the subject. I simply do not advocate any attempt at conveying scale from anything that is scaled. And when asked not to advocate, but assist in, such, the advice is persistent: "Add a (unitless) scale to the view you're exporting if you must."


Perhaps others, with more experience with P'Chop and (physical) printing processes, could help you further. All the best.


*blessed are the computer Gods for making such a mess of DPI and PPI to suit the confusion created of the measurement Gods!
