3D shade calculator in Python was created by rjs5309
I used the desktop version of SAM to generate a Python script for a detailed PV project which utilizes the 3D shading tool. I am running multiple instances of this in batch by using another Python script to change certain variables in this script and re-executing it. Some cases require me to also vary the details of the 3D shading  scene (which I can do by editing an LK script) however, there is no way (at least none that I can find) to re-run the 3D shading within the Python SDK. Is there a scriptable version of the 3D shading tool available that can be run from Python?

Hi Janith,

SAM's 3D shade calculator is part of the SAM user interface rather than the SAM Simulation Core (SSC). Your Python script interacts with the SSC API, so it is not possible to run the shade calculator from the script.

Best regards,
Paul.
