Site objects

In our Site Objects feature, you will find 3D elements such as trees, wind turbines, and HV pylons, for which you can define detailed geometry. This allows you to model these objects to closely match the real conditions on your project site, enabling accurate Shading Analysis.

In the Areas dropdown menu, you will find an option that directs you to our Site Objects option.

This will display a window that can be docked to the side of your screen, where you'll find all site objects that can be added in 3D.

Adding trees

To add trees, begin by choosing your desired tree shape. Next, personalize the tree's dimensions by adjusting the trunk height and width, as well as the size of the foliage. Also make sure to indicate a spacing between trees if you are placing multiple at a time.

You can then place individual trees by either choosing a specific location for each tree or by defining a straight line along which multiple trees will be arranged.

Adding windmills

To add windmills, first specify the dimensions for the tower, nacelle, and blades. Then, click on the "Place" option to select the desired location on your site. Use a left click to position the windmill and if needed, choose an alignment before clicking again to finalize the placement.

Adding HV pylons

To add HV Pylons, first specify the dimensions for the tower and crossarms. Then, click on the "Place" option to select the desired location on your site. Use a left click to position the tower, and if needed choose an alignment before clicking again to finalize the placement.
