Module & Terrain Coordinate Mismatch

[Swonno]

Hello PVSyst Team,

 

I'm using Sketchup to design terrain and modules at the same time.

 

But a thing is when i try to export from Sketchup to PVSyst with 3DS files,

 

I usually export in a two different files. One is only for modules and the other is only terrain file.

 

And When I import two seperately , It doesn't matech well.

 

Pls help how can i match those with.

One more question is, When I import from Sketchup,

Some array is wholed or transformed as a line. Pls guide me.

 

Thanks

Dear Swonno,

 

From SketchUp, it's important to assign a material to the surface of the PV module. You can also assign a material named 'ground' to it in SketchUp. Then, when you import into PVsyst, you must define what is a PV object by checking the box corresponding to the material name, and what is a terrain object by selecting the box with the associated name. I invite you to read our tutorial on this topic. Here's how you can find it:
