DAE file import bug in 6.63 version

[MicheleANE]

Hello,

after upgrading to 6.63 ver. we experienced a problem importing collada .DAE files.

 

Impoted DAE in ver. 6.62

Same DAE in ver. 6.63

 

As you can see , the same file is imported wrongly in 6.63 so we had to downgrade to 6.62 to keep working.

As a side note, all DAE or 3DS files exported from Sketchup are imported as they had the azimuth of the whole scene rotated by 180 degrees in all versions, is this another bug or it is intentional?

Best regards

Hello,

This just looks like you switched to perspective view in 6.63, so just switch back to orthogonal view and it should look like in 6.62

Hi,

It is not a "looks" problem. The geometry is completely different.

Please look at these two pictures, they are of the same model taken in front view and parallel view (not perspective).

If needed I could send you the DAE file to try for yourself.

Version 6.62

Version 6.63

 

By the way, what about my other question in the same post? Any suggestions?

My bad, it was not so obvious with the two first pictures :)

Could you please send us the DAE file you used here ? (to support@pvsyst.com)

We'll have a look as soon as possible once we get it.

Thanks for your response. I sent you this DAE file by mail.

Please inform us of your results.

Best regards

Michele

Thank you for reporting this and for sending the file, there is indeed an issue with the baseslope being negative when it should be positive, during the conversion of objects to PV fields.

We've fixed it and we'll try to release a new version soon.
