We hereby introduce Virto.CAD version 1.11.3.
Please continue reading for an overview about the new features, improvements and bug fixes.
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
Sunbeam: we...
Fixed a bug where Dilatation Validation did not run when the window was opened.
