4 sided-roof model feature manual

[Swonno]

Hello PVSyst team,

 

I'm trying to describe range of mountain with the

So I can model mountain with the width & height.

But to design degree(tilt) of the mountain with this element 4sided root,

 

I was wondered the red box i remarked in the file i attached,

 

I think the tilt degree is the tilt for diagonal direction based.

I understand and what is the under box feature that then?

 

Can you tell me what is this purpose for?

I tried write numbers there but nothing changed so, I don't know how to use this option.

 

Thank you.

Dear Swonno,

The field you mentioned with the red box is actually a display error in PVsyst, this field and its value are not used to model the 4-sided roof.

I suggest you to use the three red squares in the 3D view to manually design the object in order to check to which property of the roof correspond each field:

 

Please note that you will have to transform your roof to a ground object in order to be interpreted as a mountain:

However, please note that the method of using a roof object to design the mountain is not the most appropriate one in PVsyst.

You can use one of the import procedures described in the links below to import a topology from Google Earth or Sketchup:

You can also directly create a ground object in PVsyst without going through the roof creation stage:

The ground object creation and modification is described here: https://www.pvsyst.com/help/ground_objects.htm

This is really helpful. I really appreciate it! 

Thank you very much! but also Thank you for the tips for designing mountain too!
