One flight over the roof.Everything the crew needs to build.
Customer signed? A drone circles the building once, and the system turns the photos into a measured model of the whole site. You arrange the panels on it and approve, and get a construction plan, site dimensions, and shade and yield for every panel.

A real project, a building in Netivot · scan: Idan Computers
One flight. No ladder, no tape measure.
The drone circles the building and photographs it from every angle. From hundreds of overlapping photos the system rebuilds the site: the roofs, parapets, water heaters, stairwells and the trees around them.
- One circle around the buildingOne site visit, nobody climbs the roof to measure
- Hundreds of photos from every angleEvery wall, parapet and rooftop unit is in the model
- The surroundings tooTrees and buildings that cast shade are measured with the roof
Both give the same measured model, at the same accuracy and with the same build pack. Have a Simplex subscription and a city model at the address? Skip the flight. Don't? One flight over the roof.
Simplex 3DEvery roof, wall and gap. Measured.
The photos become a model of the whole site. The system finds the roofs, straightens them into clean lines and measures areas, slopes, and the distances from the panels to the walls and between the panels.
Hover a dimension line
Racking first. Then the panels.
Once you approve the layout, the system works out the frames, where every block sits and the site dimensions for each panel group on a flat roof, and produces a bill of materials ready to order.
4 groups · 36 blocks
What every panel will produce. And exactly where shade falls.
Shade is calculated on the measured model itself, hour by hour through a whole year, with the area's weather data. Every panel gets its own numbers, so you know in advance whether a parapet or a water heater steals production.
One construction pack, from the office to the roof.
Everything comes from the same model and the layout you approved, so the numbers in the proposal, on the plan and on site are the same numbers.

An initial design to sell. An engineering design to build.
Both live in the same system, on the same customer. From the aerial photo you build an initial design and the first proposal without leaving the office. For the build pack you build an engineering design on a measured model with high accuracy: from one drone flight, or from Simplex with no site visit.
The first proposal, from the office
For the build pack, after signing
A recent aerial photo of the property
Simplex's 3D city model, or one drone flight
Not needed
With Simplex, none. With a drone, one flight
Medium: faces, pitches and heights from the aerial photo
High: a full model of the building and its surroundings
A first suggestion you fix and approve
You arrange and approve it in the 3D editor
A feasibility report that goes into the proposal
Shade per panel, yield and a mounting plan
Good to know
When should I order a drone model?
When you need high accuracy: for a complex roof before the proposal, or for the engineering design after signing. For a first proposal an initial design from the aerial photo is enough. Have a Simplex subscription and a city model at the address? The same measured model can be built from Simplex, without a flight.
How is it different from the aerial model?
The aerial model describes faces, slopes and heights, which is enough for an initial design and a proposal. The drone model is built from photos taken over the site itself, it is measured, and the engineering design, the construction plan and per-panel shade come from it.
Does the system decide where the panels go?
No. You arrange and approve the layout in the 3D editor, and the report and the construction plan are calculated on what you approved.
Which roofs get a construction plan?
Panel groups on a flat roof. When something on the roof is in a block's way, the plan flags it instead of guessing.
What exactly do I get at the end?
A block plan with dimensions, racking sections for every group, a bill of materials, production and shade data for every panel, and the full report, all from one model.
Is it available now?
Yes. Every account with the design module builds drone models: upload the drone photos or a flight video in the 3D step and the model is built on the server.
