8.0 shading scene issue

[rexpartner]

we are getting this on projects that were setup in version 7 but now being simulated in 8.0.    can anyone help with this issue?

we cannot run any simulations with 3D scene.  "an orientation needs a representative tracker to be defined for the diffuse shadings calculation"

im having same issues. All my projects were set up in PVSyst 7 with unlimited trackers in horizontal axis N-S, and then with shading scenes approximated. All worked as designed in PVSyst 7, but in V8 I cannot run any computations due to this warning error and I cannot figure out how to correct. Please help!

go into backtracking management menu inside shade scene and set backtracking parameters, and into the diffuse tool in the shade scene and set the selections. there could be general issues with moving to new version

Just to illustrate the darin's post, there are two pictures.

Thanks @Maruyama. Indeed, this is the way to go.

We need to give better guidance on this point including in the UI side of the software. We will be working on this.
