Automatic creation of barred areas.


Wouter

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I created a nice 3d model, and exported it in .obj format. Imported in PVSol premium. There are a lot of obstructions on the roof (skylights, antennae, ...).

how can I convert these objects automatically to barred areas? They are all defined as separate solids, and can be clicked as such,

but to make a barred area I can only see the option to draw them manually?

Is there a way to just click all those polygons/solids, or extract them automatically?

 

Thanks,

 

Wouter

Hi Wouter,

yes, if the obstruction objects are part of the 3D object, they must be re-traced manually (barred area polygon). Trace the object once, then copy it (multiple copy) and move it to the corresponding position. Should be reasonably fast.

However, the shading caused by the objects is taken into account, so no worries there.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

 

thanks for your answer.

That's quite a bummer. After doing all the effort to create those obstructions and aligning them perfectly, I can't use it in PVSol. The polylines are there, why not just allowing me to make use of them in stead of losing accuracy retracing it manually? Select, right click, create barred area, problem solved?

 

brgds,
