Unable to set Tracking horizontal axis N-S Orientation in the 3D scene

[Gridshape]

Hello,

I'm having trouble with the "Orientation" objects in PVSyst 8.

In the Orientation page I've created a Tracking horizontal axis N-S item with Backtracking activated (see image 1).

This orientation is correctly displayed both in the "Orientations" menu of the Near shading 3D scene (see image 2) and in the Orientation management tool within the 3D scene "Construction and perspective" environment (see image 3).

However, when I create a new zone in the 3D scene and I click on "Field properties" (see image 4) --> "Basic parameters", I do not see the Orientation I've defined but only a Fixed, Tilt=30°, Azim=0° orientation I've not created (see image 5). Furthermore, if I click on "New orientation..." I'm unable to define any Orientation other than "Fixed Tilted Plane" or "Seasonal tilt adjustement" (see image 6).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Yes, the zone tool will be improved in a future version.

In the meantime, by defining a fixed tilted plane with the all the parameters you wish for your trackers (orientation, pitch, size etc.) and tick the option "Create tracking fields" (as you have done in image 4), the zone will be filled with trackers with the correct definition.
