PVcase import tables

[NGD]

Hello, 

When I import a scene from PVcase, in several occasions the tables take two different orientations automatically, either modules in portrait (3 rows x 24 modules) or modules in landscape (24 rows x 3 modules). This was not a major issue in PVcase 7 as in the orientation manager you could override this. However, in the new PVsyst 8, with and EW system I can not simulate the bifacial option as the widths of the tables are not the same (an error pops up). If I change manually in the list of objects the configuration of these "wrong" tables, they move all over the scene. 

How can I fix the error in importing/reading correctly the tables? This would also reduce the threshold of the setting in max. spread of azimut for the same orientation. 

Note: this is not an issue of this particular project as it has happened before in multiple projects. 

Many thanks!

Hi, when importing, you should be wary of the following option:


This will define the orientation properly. You can also try the East/West option.

Note that you should not simulate East/West dome systems with a bifacial model. This cannot yet be calculated in PVsyst, a dedicated model needs to be developed still.
In principle, the bifacial gain of E/W domes is negligible, unless the height of the dome is important.
