Hello Niya, I got the rotated pts file as well, however this was not correct - but this was the pts file I made myself. If you download the program Notepad++ (It's just an advanced Notepad which can handle different types of text files), you can see your pts file.
A pts file contains nothing but the coordinates of your sensor points and then a direction vector, (0 0 1) pointing up. Example: 2.000 3.000 0.850 0.000 0.000 1.000 3.000 3.000 0.850 0.000 0.000 1.000 this is two sensor points placed at the coordinates (x,y,z) = (2,3,0.85), and they're both pointing straight up. With notepad++ you can create this, and when saving the file, type the name and add '.pts'. Voila, you have a pts file :-) Of course, then you have to know the coordinate system in DAYSIM, and I believe that north is always the same as positive y-axis. But if you do create your own sensorpoint file, you cannot see the results in Ecotect as I believe you can with the auto generated pts file. Good luck with it!
