Read and edit the horizon profile
The instructions below about deletion before capture describe the legacy single-plane workflow. In a multi-plane project, the selected survey is replaced after validation of the new capture, affecting every plane sharing it; other surveys are retained.
The Horizon profile tab shows the profile recorded during the survey. Compare it with photos and sun paths, then correct points if needed.
Review the profile views
Section titled “Review the profile views”- Open the assessment, then Horizon profile.
- Review the profile chart and survey photos.
- Examine the Real profile and Envelope profile views further down the tab.
- Real profile: represents the outline based on the captured points. Compare it with the photos to identify inconsistent measurements.
- Envelope profile: uses the maximum elevation between two measurements to avoid underestimating shading. It may therefore appear higher than the real profile between points with different elevations.
Sectors without measurements are assigned zero elevation in the completed profile. This does not prove they are unobstructed: check that the survey covers the obstacles relevant to the assessment.
Check the points
Section titled “Check the points”The profile consists of points defined by:
- azimuth: horizontal direction in degrees;
- elevation: angular height above the horizon in degrees.
An obvious irregularity may result from a point captured too high, too low or in the wrong direction. Compare values with the photos and site context before editing them.
Edit points manually
Section titled “Edit points manually”- Open analysis settings from the results screen.
- Expand Horizon profile and shading.
- Choose Edit to open the point table.
- Correct the relevant azimuth or elevation values. You can also add, delete or reorder points.
- Tap Apply to confirm, or close without applying to discard the changes.
The editor shows azimuth values from 0° to 360° and elevation values from 0° to 90°. Keep the sequence of points consistent with the outline actually observed.
Repeat the survey
Section titled “Repeat the survey”Horizon profile and shading also offers an action to repeat the survey. This is separate from manual point editing and may be subject to access restrictions.
Use it when the whole profile is unusable, rather than to correct a single point.
Before confirming: the current survey, its photos and its results will be deleted. This cannot be undone. Replacement starts as soon as you confirm, before new points are captured. Keep any deliverables you need or duplicate the project from the home screen if you want to retain a reference assessment.
For a project without a survey, the confirmation offers to start a survey, replacing the declared absence of shading and the associated results.

Section titled “Projects with several planes”In a multi-plane project, select the plane before editing its sizing, orientation, layout or height. Editing a shared survey affects every plane using it. Consumption, battery and economic assumptions remain common to the installation.
