Mikael-Nyman Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Building location Project Flat roof with east-west PV modules We want the PV modules to follow the building, but the building is not located directly to the north / south, ie it is inclined to the east-west (see picture). And when you insert the PV modules, they are placed east-west by default. So how do we rotate / rotate the direction of the modules so that they follow the building / roof?

developer_mh Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi Mikael, when you place modules onto buildings, they get automatically oriented in line with the building geometry: I guess you did not extrude the building from the map? Try drawing a polygon onto the map, make it rectangular (if you want), then extrude the building, activate it, and then place the mounting system. Hope that helps, kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikael-Nyman Posted February 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi Martin, - thank you for your quick reply OK I see, - but is it always necessary to extrude buildings from ground level, even if we use 3D import via eg Goolge or Bing etc.? Kind regard Mikael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
developer_mh Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Hi Mikael, it is not necessary, no. But it is easier in my opinion, since you have this automatic alignment of modules, you can place restricted areas or other objects on top, etc. Kind regards, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
