developer_mh Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi Tim, we just discussed it here. We think you should go and try modelling the house in sketchup and then import it in PV*SOL. Even if you have to learn to use sketchup first, you will be faster in the long run. Modelling these types of buildings in PV*SOL with polygons will be very tricky. One of our 3D team members modelled this house in 20min. He used sketchup a lot, so perhaps you will need more time for your first models, but in the end you can really save a lot of time when you have a lot of those complex buildings.

developer_mh Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi Tim, here is a quick screenshot he sent me before leaving for the weekend And yes, after modelling in Sketchup, you import it into PV*SOL with the model import function, that is right.
