Hi everyone, I’ve been running some tests with the Automatic Altitude tool because I was getting some odd results. After completing them, I still don’t understand which point PVsyst takes as a reference to perform the align based on the lowest, middle, or highest point. As you can see in the image, when the object to be positioned has a flat base, the tool behaves as expected; however, when it is tilted (it’s a square polyhedron), the align function doesn’t seem to have any effect. What’s surprising is that if the polyhedron is rotated in azimuth, the align tool does seem to vary the object’s height. Does anyone know the criteria PVsyst uses for this? Is there any documentation available on this? Thanks in advance!

Dear PVsyst Team, First of all, congratulations on the software update. Version 8 represents a significant advancement and will greatly benefit those of us who frequently use PVsyst. Specifically, the new feature allowing topography data import is incredible. However, I’ve encountered a challenge when working with the import function, as it’s difficult to adjust the data to the desired area from the import window. Having a measurement tool within that window would be extremely helpful. Additionally, in the tutorial on topography importation https://www.pvsyst.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/pvsyst-tutorial-v8-import-topography-en.pdf, it is mentioned that cropping can be done using the Ground Edition tool. However, I cannot find this button in my PVsyst. It seems to be available for terrain images but not for topography data or ground object. Could you please guide me on this matter? Thank you in advance!

Hello Lazare, Thank you very much for the prompt reply. In my opinion, the implementation of this options would be an interesting improvement for the software. Best regards, Alberto

Hello, In systems with three different orientations, in the "iso-shadings diagrams" section only two graphs, corresponding to orientations #1 and #2, are shown. My question: Is there any way to include all three near-shadings graphs in the report? For example, in the "Horizon profile" section the three graphs are displayed by default. Thanks in advance, Alberto
