Daniel Lizarazo Posted February 25, 2021 Report Posted February 25, 2021 Good day, I'm currently using PVSol Premium 2021 (R4) trial version for a university assignment, and there's a hipped-roof building with a flat part at the top (as shown in the attachment) I need to model for the shading study, so I modeled it in Blender and I want to import it to PVSol. I deleted the camera and lighting objects and cleared all parentings, yet I still get the error message shown in the attachment, know what can I do to fix this? or how to extrude the roof of that building otherwise? I also attached the .blend file and the PVSol project. Thank you in advance for your help. Edificio objetivo.blend Examen On-Grid.pvprj Quote
Daniel Lizarazo Posted February 25, 2021 Author Report Posted February 25, 2021 If anyone else have this problem, I fixed it by exporting the Blender model as an .obj file. Thank you. 2 Quote
Sun-Con Posted November 2, 2021 Report Posted November 2, 2021 Regarding BLENDER: Anyone used BlenderGIS to import Google Maps Data, with elevation? can anyone tell us, how to correctely (edit and) export the obj file, so it can be imported into PVSOL with textures and correct surfaces? Quote
Shigoist Posted October 15, 2023 Report Posted October 15, 2023 Hi there, today I stumbled upon the exact same issue. I'm able to export an .obj file from Blender. I'm not an expert for that, but Blender only exports the .obj file but not an .mtl file or a file which contains the texture information. Meaning, it loads into PVSol as a blank white object, no textures. When I save my object in Blender I get a .blend file. But that file fails to be uploaded into PVSol 3D whith the above mentioned error message: Import failed: ...Expect at least one object with no parent. I've tried different things with parenting and unparenting in Blender, no luck. What is actually that c:\Jenkins\workspace .... suppose to mean? I have no Jenkins installed on my PC. Any help appreciated. Best, Soenke Quote
Shigoist Posted October 15, 2023 Report Posted October 15, 2023 Hi, I got a bit further. What I have now is the .obj, the .mtl and the Texture files in one common Folder. The map_Kd in teh .mtl file is refering to the .exr file in the same folder. Meaning, PV*Sol should be able to find and import all needed files .... but doesn't. Sometimes I get an error like "couldn't find XXX.exr file" even if it is in the same folder as printed in the error .... Please help, I spend hours now to get this in, ..... Quote
developer_mo Posted October 17, 2023 Report Posted October 17, 2023 Hi Shigoist, thank you for your post. Cloud you please send me the files you are trying to import via private message in this forum? With the files I can try the import myself and hopefully help complete the import successfully. Kind regards Mikio Quote
edningmike Posted November 22, 2023 Report Posted November 22, 2023 Hey Admin I'm currently having the same problem with trying to import my BlenderGIS terrain into PV SOL. I have the same issue with the obj file showing up as white. Could you please elaborate what I can do to solve this problem. Thank you! Quote

Jason Brown Posted Thursday at 07:09 PM Report Posted Thursday at 07:09 PM Hi Can anyone provide an outcome for this, and whether a resolution was found. I am trying to achieve the same thing, but when exporting in .OBJ, all that imports is a grey object with no colour, .blend files provide an error message only. Quote
hotline_oh Posted 26 minutes ago Report Posted 26 minutes ago Dear Jason Brown, Thank you for your inquiry. Please send us your 3D model to hotline@valentin-software.com so that we can take a closer look at it. Unfortunately, we are not familiar with any 3D graphics software or do not know the PV*SOL premium required export settings. You could use WeTransfer, for example, if the file is too big. Quote
