SolarStudio / 3D modelling and technical drawings
From your project
to a 3D model.
Down to fabrication detail.
Take the project you prepared in SolarDesk into SolarStudio with a single click. See the mounting structure, its connections and the rebar, and produce your technical drawings.

A new workspace.
Move on without rebuilding your model. Start automatically from SolarDesk, or import your existing SAP2000 file.
Click “Create 3D Model” in SolarDesk.
SolarStudio opens automatically and your model is built.
- Prepare the project in SolarDeskThe system data comes from your existing project.
- Click “Create 3D Model”SolarStudio opens automatically and takes everything it needs from SolarDesk.
- Work on the modelReview the mounting structure, then move on to details and technical drawings.
You do not need to enter the same project data again in SolarStudio.
Carry on with your existing SAP2000 model.
Import your S2K file into SolarStudio.
- Prepare your SAP2000 S2K fileStart from the model file exported from your existing SAP2000 project.
- Import the file into SolarStudioUse the create-from-SAP2000 option.
- Review the 3D modelAssess the details on the model and continue with the drawing workflow.
Creating a model from a SAP2000 file remains available as an alternative to the SolarDesk integration.
01 / Steel structure and connections
See the whole.
Miss no detail.
Review in 3D how posts, rafters, purlins and braces come together. See the connection points and the member layout on the same model.
- Overall geometry of the mounting structure
- Connection plates and joint details
- Position of each member and how they relate
Down to a single member.
Review the profile geometry, member data and hole layout in a separate view. Assess the overall model and the part detail together.
02 / Foundation and rebar
From steel to foundation,
see the whole model.
Review different foundation solutions together with the mounting structure. Assess the concrete and rebar layout inside the model.
Driven-pile system
See how the posts meet the ground and the mounting structure as a whole in one view.
Concrete ballast system
View the concrete ballast layout, the posts and the superstructure together.
03 / Technical drawings and documentation
From model to sheet.
With every detail.
General views, assembly diagrams, part details and foundation rebar drawings. Browse real sheets produced by SolarStudio. Sheet labels are in Turkish.
Shown: a 29-page A3 drawing set. The set varies from project to project.

Common questions.
A short introduction to the SolarStudio workflow.
How does it work with SolarDesk?
When you click “Create 3D Model” in SolarDesk, SolarStudio opens automatically, takes everything the model needs from SolarDesk and builds the 3D model.
Can I use my SAP2000 file?
Yes. SolarStudio still offers the option to create a model from a SAP2000 S2K file, so you can also start from your existing SAP2000 file.
Can I only see the overall model?
Besides the overall system view, you can also review single members, connection details and the foundation and rebar layout.
Which drawing outputs can be prepared?
A PDF drawing set and dimensioned DXF outputs. The sample PDF here contains general views, an assembly diagram, fabrication and connection details, part lists and concrete ballast rebar drawings.
