Hi Amalie,   
    thanks for the fast response. this approach ive been using as well- for 
this reason i also rotated back the file in Daysim.    
    I don´t know if you have experienced this... Sometimes, the Daysim Sensor 
point file used for a model imported from  
     Ecotect has some odd coordinates, that do not match 
the
   previously defined grid in Ecotect. This is usually the case when you export 
from
   Ecotect a model that has the North position rotated from the default   axis 
for the simulation ... I suspect that 
the
   original "test.pts" (Ecotect )grid becomes
   translated into a coordinate axis responing to the north orientation,
   and the sensor point file used in Daysim is then named
   "test.pts.rotated.   pts".
    Hence, the ".da" files reimported to Ecotect from
  Daysim show the same rotated
   coordinates.
     
      This is my concern, WHETHER  
they are reliable to
      display the simulation results without me having to intervene with 
rotating the scene in .hea file?      
      best,      Niya

    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!

Hello Amalie,
       
       

       
       
       After I edit the.hea file and rotate the scene I get created a new 
filename.pts.rotate.pts file. I assume it is with the rotated points - i am 
trying to find a way to verify this still.
       
       
       

       
       
       I would be interested to know how do you create the rotated sensorpoint 
file?

       
       
       

       
       
       Best,
       
       
       Niya

            Hi Niya, 
            
           
            
 
            
           
            I also worked with Daysim and Ecotect. I did not use the auto 
generated grid in Ecotect, but made a sensorpoint file myself, so I do not know 
if it is the same with the Ecotect grid. However, when I tried to rotate the 
building in Daysim, the sensorpoints did not rotate with the model. I had to 
make a new sensorpoint file to match the rotated building. 
            
           
            
 
            
           
            Cheers,

                 Hello Alstan,    
                
                
                 
   
                
                
                 I need to apply the same command. There is some weird 
correspondance btw the Ecotect and the Daysim values, and I assume from reading 
the forums, that it is because of the North orientation.   
                
                
                 
   
                
                
                 Could you, please, assist me with how to
 run the Daysim subprogram rotate_scene to make this work?    
                
                
                  
    
                
                
                  Regards,
