Vidar Posted June 9, 2001 Share Posted June 9, 2001 Warning! If you are working in VA 9 with a file updated from 8.5.2, don't touch the Sun Position - or your program will quit and the file will be totally damaged. I called Tech Support yesterday and they admitted that this is a bug. They promissed to call me back with a solution, but they did not. In the Sun Position dialog box, I noticed that the previously set longitude (7?E) turned up negative. The program could not compute sun azimuth angle. Does anyone have a better idea than simply stay away from using this function in VA9? Quote Link to comment
Kok Kee Cheong Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 Yes, I had the same problem when using the Sun Position: the previously set longitude turned negative. Fortunately, the programe did not quit on me. What I did was just delete the negative sign of longitude.It worked. Unfortuately, the longitude returned to negative when I checked it later.

Vidar Posted June 13, 2001 Author Share Posted June 13, 2001 Well, it looks like it works OK when the program returns azimuth and altitude, but sometimes the program is unable to compute the azimuth. If there is no number in the box for azimuth and you hit OK, the program will crash. Quote Link to comment
Bruce Marshall Posted June 17, 2001 Share Posted June 17, 2001 Here's a workaround on the Suns, if your imported 8.5.2 file already has a Sun in it: copy/paste an old Sun in the imported file to where you want a new Sun, use OI to position it. Everything works and program does not crash, as it does if you set a new Sun. Quote Link to comment
