Ground image import fails

J. Behrschmidt · March 27, 2017

Dear all,

i have problems wit PVsyst 6.61, when I import a ground image. After import I only see a small coloured line. See attachment. Who can help?

I have also had an error in 6.61 importing ground images. The image covers up the array, but does not cover objects like trees or buildings.

I discovered the problem connected with the import of ground image. If the render mode is set to "Technical view" then a placeholder for the graph is shown only. If it is set to "realistic view" I can see the picture and can adapt the size.

This cause an other problem now. Each element I create and put into the scene covers the ground image. If I am in "realstic view" I am not able to see details of the ground image underneath the inserted building anymore. If I switch to "technical view" to see what is underneath the building, the ground image vanish. So, I am not able to validate my scene with the help of the ground image.

I need to see the ground image in both modes "technical view" and "realistic view". Please adapt!

Hello,

Can you please make sure that your display drivers are up-to-date ?

Here's a how-to :

The fact that it's not displayed in technical mode seems to be linked with your hardware drivers.

Hello,

I updated the display driver, sadly with no success.
