There are a lot of features associated with each model and sub-array. Let us see them in this quick video and discuss them below,
The most sought features are,
Parapet properties
Shed roof sub-array properties
Panel templates and Orientation.
Table size and orientation.
1. Parapet properties
In the case of RCC roof, one needs to model the parapet as required. After modelling, one can also select the model and set its properties of parapet like height, setback outside and in. One should market the model area placeable if it requires panel placing.
2. Shed roof's sub-array properties.
Select the sub-array on the shed and provide the required Azimuth, tilt and height accordingly with the direction. Apart from the 4 predominant directions, one can also opt-in for NE, NW, SE and SW by using 57.24,327.24, 147.24 and 237.24 degrees respectively.
NOTE:
The azimuth angle of 180 degrees is designated for flat roof structures alone.
One can always visualize the design in 3D by double-tapping 3 to confirm with their design pattern. Similarly, design the other part of the roof either by using mirror option by tapping M or proving the exact azimuth angle and tilt for the opposite direction.
TIP:
Keep the sub-array toggled on the place-able option for accessing the heat map and solar access.
3. Panel template and orientation.
Select fill-face for the shed model and add panels to the desired sub-array. From the sub-array properties select the template Flush mount for shed roofs. Also, select your desired orientation. For flat roof structures, you can choose between fixed mount, flush mount and east-west racking structures. You can also change the tilt and azimuth of the subarrays.
4. Table size and orientation.
For an RCC roof select fill face to add panels. Then, you can select a panel and vary the
sub-array properties same as that of the shed roof. Change the table sizing by choosing the up and width size on the properties. You can have any range of table size say 2*2, 2*4, 4*4 etc., Provisions are available to set the orientations from portrait to landscape or vice-versa as desired.
