After defining your Layout settings, you can move on to the Spacing settings. This submenu is split into 3 sections:
- Design settings
- Corridor settings
- Height settings (except for Flush mount layouts)
After you have defined all the settings according to your preferences, you’ll be ready to place the modules.
Design settings
In the Design settings section, you can define the spacing between your modules.
You can add or modify the space between rows and columns.
Corridor settings
If you need to use corridors, you can do so by enabling the Corridors option.
If you enable the corridors option, you will be able to set up two types of corridor spacing:
- Modules
- Distance
After selecting the spacing type, you can modify the Corridor patterns and Corridor gaps in your layout.
Corridor patterns
Modules
This spacing type will place the vertical and horizontal gaps according to specified Rows and Columns module patterns respectively.
For example, if you have rows set to 8, then the vertical gap will be placed every 8 modules vertically; if the column amount is set to 10, then the horizontal gap will be placed every 10 modules horizontally.
Distance
This spacing type will place the vertical and horizontal gaps according to the Rows and Columns distance patterns.
For example, if you have rows set to 10, then the vertical gap will be placed before the 10 meters mark vertically; if the column amount is set to 12, the horizontal gap will be placed before the 12 meters mark horizontally.
Corridor gaps
For both Module and Distance spacing options, you can manually adjust the vertical and horizontal corridor gaps to meet your specific needs.
Height settings
The last parameter to set up before placing the modules is Height above the roof. This measurement defines the distance between the roof and the bottom of the module's lowest point.
Module placement
After all settings are set up, you can place the modules on your designed roof. To do so, follow these steps:
- Click on Place modules
2. Select the roof.
3. Press Space or Enter on your keyboard.
4. Define the alignment line.
5. Press Space or Enter to finalize.
