Wind Stow: Stow Dwell Time
Stow Dwell Time is now available for the PlantPredict Wind Stow model (DC Field Table tab). It sets how long wind gust must stay at or below the Wind Gust Threshold before normal tracking resumes after a stow event, reducing unrealistic rapid cycling. See Wind Stow for behavior and defaults.3D Shade Scene: Map Builder and PVC Download
Create shade scene from Map Builder — You can create a 3D shade scene directly from the Map Builder header, without exporting a PVC from Map Builder and uploading it to the prediction. After a scene exists, you can also push updates from Map Builder, avoiding a manual download-and-upload loop. Download edited 3D scenes — On 3D Scene Overview, Download Data exports the current PVC, including custom 3D objects that were added or edited in the 3D shade scene.Improvements and Bug Fixes
- License checkout (Stripe) — New self-checkout flow to purchase licenses, including add-on extensions.
- Free tier trial — New self-service path for Free tier users to start a full-featured trial.
- Irradiance optimization (V13 beta) — Movement penalty in the built-in irradiance optimization now matches the documented use of Rotation Speed; see Irradiance Optimization. (V13 beta prediction logic.)
- Multi-year predictions and 3D losses (V13 beta) — Out-years (year 2 and later) in multi-year predictions now apply 3D shade-scene losses consistently with year 1. (V13 beta prediction logic.)
- Report downloads — Access to report downloads (except Plant Summary) is limited to paid subscriptions.
- 3D object move — Improved behavior when moving objects in the 3D shade scene.
