Nihal Meena Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Hey PVsyst Team, I have created a CAD file and a .PVC file using PVcase, where my trackers and trees follow the terrain of a specific geography. However, when I try to import the .PVC file into PVsyst, I receive a message stating, 'Your 3D scene is too large and cannot be imported.' Interestingly, the same scene is successfully imported when I remove some of the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muhammed Sarikaya Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Dear Nihal Meena, Try changing the input size to millimeters, as the input size in your 3D software might not be set correctly. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Regards, Muhammed Sarikaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihal Meena Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Hello @Muhammed Sarikaya, Thank you for the update. I followed your instructions and changed the unit to millimeters while importing the 3D scene into PVSyst. The model was successfully imported, but the size appears to be very small. The total number of modules is showing as 0, and the area of the 3D field is less than the module size defined in the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muhammed Sarikaya Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 Dear Nahel, Indeed, using millimeters might not be the best choice. Do you know which unit of measurement you are using in your 3D software for drawing your 3D scene project? Regards, Muhammed Sarikaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson White Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I am having this exact issue, has any update on this been made? I can confirm that the unit of measurement for my 3D software is meters and I am trying to import in meters. It also imports in millimeters but is far smaller than it should be.

Stéphane Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hi, This error is usually displayed when you have one object of your scene that is really really far away from the other ones, making the distance between this object and the other ones too big to handle. Removing this object in your 3D software and exporting a new file will solve the problem. If you cannot solve the issue you can send us your PVC or DAE file to support@pvsyst.com and we will have a look. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson White Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Hi, thank you, I did have to zoom right out and eventually found an object that was a long long away from my arrays which I deleted and the shading scene then imported well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stéphane Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Hello. Perfect, I am glad it is now working for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
