Who this helps
Designers building a reusable library of rack/row definitions.
What you’ll achieve
Parametric fixed racks and single‑row, terrain‑following tracker rows ready for layout.
Tier A — Hands‑on steps
1) Fixed Racks — Simple
- Creating Fixed Racks — Simple Design; set module, row length, tilt, inter‑row gap; save to library.
2) Fixed Racks — Detailed
- Creating Fixed Racks — Detailed Design; set pile count/spacing, structural clearances, frame offsets.
4) Trackers — Simple
- Creating Tracker Racks — Simple Design; quick presets; confirm single‑row type.
3) Trackers — Detailed
- Creating Tracker Racks — Detailed Design; single‑row only; enable terrain‑following; set max slope tolerance.
How it works / checks
- Library entries store geometry + constraints used by layout engines.
- Tracker rows are single‑row primitives with per‑span terrain following; slope caps ensure mechanical limits.
QA & pitfalls
- Keep module catalog consistent; mismatched dimensions ripple into cable and pile coordinates.
- Overlong rows on rugged terrain cause excessive grading.
Outputs & handoff
- Versioned rack/row templates used by fixed and dynamic layout builders.
