Multiple .pvc file import in the same project

[aortuso]

Good afternoon, 

I am working for a client on a PV project which is composed by several plot. My client provided one .pvc file per each plot of the project. When I upload the different files, PVsyst automatically places the perimeter in the centre of the coordinates, overlapping it with the previous one. Is it possible to upload all the .pvc files in the same 3D scene, respecting thier relative position? Or is it better to merge all the files and then upload one single (complete) .pvc files?

Thanks in advance

Hi. On the import window of the PVC file, you need to uncheck "Automatic" and to set X, Y and Z to 0:

This way each plot will be imported at its original location.

Hi Stèphane, thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, by setting  "Automatic" and to set X, Y and Z to 0, it overlaps in a wrong way the two plots. It seems that PVsyst considers the centre of gravity of the trackers and not the one of the perimeter. 

I report here below a screenshot of the outcome: the two perimeter should be perfectly overlapped and the structures should be complementary.

Hi. Thank you for the additional information. PVsyst reads the content of the PVC files and applies a translation if X/Y/Z are not 0. If you don't get the expected results, maybe there is an issue with the PVC files. Can you send us the 2 files by email at support@pvsyst.com? We will check further to identify the source of the issue.
