alter Sack Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 We are a surveying office and we have to provide data for a specialist planner to process in PVsyst. We need to prepare and export a terrain model. We have various options available to us. Finally, the terrain model should be imported into PVsyst and a system should be developed. The terrain model should contain parcel boundaries and a distance line to the forest. What is the best way to proceed and in which format should the export ideally take place?

dtarin Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 If you are not running specific PV software, such as AutoCAD plugin PVcase or something similar that can easily export from CAD, one way is to export the surface as a collection of points (X,Y,Z) in meters as a CSV file. They will need a screenshot from CAD of the surface and general site boundaries to align the modules within the parcel boundaries. In AutoCAD, the surface topographical lines can be exploded and exported as points easily, using the start or end points from the exploded lines which (in my experience) reduce down to a line segment with three points.
