export 3d building

[patrik k]

Working closlely with building companies they often want a 3D model of the house that they are building.

When will it be possible to export the 3d building from PV Sol?

(so that you can 3D print the model amongst other things)

Hi Patrik,

that is a nice idea. Actually we thought that building companies would model the building that can then be imported in PV*SOL and not the other way round But it is nice to hear that people are considering to use PV*SOL as a building modelling tool. I will forward this idea to my colleagues of the 3D team.

Kind regards,

Martin

Hi flak and others,

there are no updates, I am sorry. We will keep you posted.

Hi Martin!

The use of first importing a 3D model, then placing a pv installation on it and export it could be useful if for example you would like to make a 3D print of the model to the customer.

it would be nice to be able to load the model completed with panels into sketchup and then create a fly over presentation. Or is the a way to improve the quality of the screenshots ?

Hello Ed,

since these are classic Windows screenshots, the quality results from the screen resolution.

Kind regards,

I have several same building project buildings in different cities. It could be cool to make 3D plan in one city and after just copy ready made 3D to another map on new PVSol project. But I can't find such possibility. Could you please help me? Thanks

Hi GIM,

I think the beast way in your case would be to model the 3D building in an external 3D modelling software like sketchup and then import it in your PV*SOL projects. Unfortunately it is not possible right now to export 3D models from PV*SOL and then re-import them.

Hope that helps, kind regards,

Martin

Thank You, Martin.

Hi Martin, any news in this matter today? Thank you for your answer. Best regards, Pavel Kral

Hello

Any updates on the ability to export a building to then import it into another PV Sol file? 

Found myself wishing for a feature akin to the above in varying situations, typically in situations where I have 2 buildings on the same site and I have a PV Sol file for each, however then for whatever reason I need to combine the two against one consumption.

 

Thank You

Hi dht.freelancedesign,

no, I am afraid, there are no news regarding this feature.

Kind regards,

Hello guys,
ist there any info if this will come with R7 update? Or will it only be available with the 3D update?
Best regards
