Virto.CAD Version 1.11.3

New features and improvements

• Cross section: allows users to visualize the intersection of drawn lines with panels, terrain objects, and 3D obstacles.
• Ground clearance visualization: now displays a warning message and highlights racks with an exclamation icon if they clash with the ground.
• Build rooftop layout (EW/S): users can now directly select mounting system presets within the build window.
• Compass linking: we simplified linking of multiple layout boundaries to the same compass. Selection of a compass in a dropdown now applies it to all selected boundaries.
• Sunbeam Supra:
  • Sunbeam Supra now supports Sweden, Finland, Poland and Switzerland.
  • We added BOM report option.
  • Sunbeam product is now automatically selected on the Mounting Systems ribbon based on the preset used.

• Esdec/CPX:
  • Now supports Denmark, Finland, Norway and Poland.
  • Project information grouped to the separate window.
  • Wind zone/speed dropdown has been removed for non-relevant countries.
• Ballast calculation:
  • Ballast BOM and Report are now saved directly on the computer, reducing the size of DWG files.
  • Ballast calculation now checks if the boundary is fully placed inside the rooftop.
• Civil works: "keep out" zones can now be placed around roads.
• Label tag composer: users can now set string label text height after strings are placed (both center and polarity).
• Device placement:
  • Manual device placement process has been optimized for speed.
  • Distance between devices now considers the actual distance between their sides instead of their centers.

• String mapping:
  • "Change row connection" command is now available for ground projects.
  • Improved performance of manual string mapping.
  • We added ability to swap polarities of selected strings using string mapping commands.
• Build ground layout: inter row distance input box is now separated into "Min" and "Max".
• Wiring groups:
  • Wiring groups are now copied along with panels.
  • Optimization of wiring group name placement.
• Summary palette: displays a warning message if an empty table is inserted from the summary palette.
• Ground clearance visualization: we changed the order of the sections to be more logical: now the user first selects the boundaries, and after that picks the heights and colors.

• Calculate DC cables: we removed 2.5mm² cable option.
• String settings: "Polarity offset" setting now supports decimal numbers.
• PVsyst export: we improved the accuracy of the PVsyst export.
• Layout boundary: enhanced performance of boundary recovery feature.

 Bug Fixes

• String mapping: we...
  • Fixed a bug where String Mapping Automatic (roof): Highlight mapping is not executed at the end.
  • Resolved several bugs related to incorrect polarity placement of string mapping when using the string mapping type 'crossing'.
  • Fixed a bug where strings sometimes had more interconnections than they should.
  • Fixed a bug where string navigation was incorrect when the System configuration contained YConnectors.
• Database: we fixed a bug where the filter dropdown in the inverter database could have duplicated values.
• System config:
  • Device allocation to the wiring groups is now almost immediate (as well as de-allocation).
  • We fixed a bug where the correct amount of inputs couldn't be added to the string box.
• Irradiance simulation: we fixed a bug with negative percentage while calculating surface irradiance.
• Numbering: we fixed a bug where Numbering gave weird results in some places.
• BricsCAD: We...
  • Fixed a bug where BricsCAD randomly crashed during some operations.
  • Addressed several discrepancies between AutoCAD and BricsCAD UIs.
  • Fixed a bug that often crashed BricsCAD when some auxiliary windows were closing or opening.
  • Fixed a bug where closing the CAD application when the mounting system BOM panel was opened could break the CAD ribbon during the next launch.
  • Fixed a bug where opening BricsCAD threw errors on V24.2.03.
• Ground clearance visualization: we fixed a bug where “Select all” and “apply” threw an
• Build ground layout: we fixed a bug where trackers built with high shadow angles led to incorrect results.
• Rebuild Ground: we removed the "Continuous numbering" option from the "Rebuild ground" window.
• Summary palette: we fixed a few row misalignments in the AC devices table.
• Calculate DC cables: we...
  • Fixed a bug where not the most optimal cable was chosen.
  • Fixed a bug where NEC cable voltage drop was incorrectly calculated in the summary palette.
• Bill Of Materials (BOM): we fixed a bug where opening the BOM crashed AutoCA
