jammyc Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi, I am trying to use the parital shading calculation tool for the first time. I have put roughly a third of the tables in my scene (imported from Helios3D) into the Partial Shadings Selection group, and the system definition matches this group. However I now can't run the scenario because the area of the 3D fields is far larger than the area of the modules defined in the subarrays. I note in previous forum posts that the tables should change colour when they're put in the group but I've not noticed that happening. Any suggestions?

Michele Oliosi Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 The system definition should match the entirety of the scene. To be accurate the partial shadings tool is really to be thought of as a subset of tables that will represent all tables in the scene for the purpose of shading calculations only. It does not allow to perform a partial simulation (over just part of an array). Indeed, currently the tables do not change colour. We need to fix that.

jammyc Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 I see, that wasn't my understanding from the documentation. Thanks for clarifying. It would be really handy to be able to do what I was suggesting for large plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Oliosi Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 In that case you can convert tables to shading objects: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
