NOTATING
NOTATING
For the suneyes process, it is very important to make clear notation of each roof section that was surveyed using suneyes.
Assign each roof section a number
For each roof section list every skyline location.
All skylines for all roofs should ideally be on the same session.
List the skyline’s specific number per location.

FREQUENCY OF SKYLINES
For the most accurate survey, we need to make sure to get thorough documentation.
This will usually mean multiple suneyes per roof section.
Make sure to get suneye captures in a grid pattern. Space consistently:
6-10 feet between suneye locations.
In addition to this, please be sure to upload 360 photos of the roof to field pro to help provide more context for the designer to use for the suneyes report.

BASIC CONTROLLS
BASIC CONTROLLS
Here’s the basic controls. Mainly, we will use the navigation buttons in the center.
CREATING SESSIONS AND SKYLINES
CREATING SESSIONS AND SKYLINES
Make sure to update the roof azimuth and tilt after changing roof sections:
This will help clear up any confusion and will help solidify your reference map.
Take the skyline first, then you can adjust the settings for the roof tilt and azimuth
Main takeaways:
Each project should have its own new session.
All skylines for the entire roof will be in the same session.
Indicate suneye locations by:
Updating the tilt/azimuth for each new roof section.
Labeling the skyline location by the corresponding skyline number when you make your reference map.
View the walkthrough video to the right:
My Movie 1.mp4Make sure the suneye skyline capture has a horizontal sun path.
If you don’t orient your device 180 degrees (South) you will end up with a vertical sun path. This will not give us the most accurate view of the roof shading.
When capturing the skyline, make sure to keep the device level and orient south at 180 degrees azimuth.
It is a common mistake for surveyors to take the suneye capture from the azimuth of the roof section.
Use the roof azimuth only to update the skyline location info.
If you see the band representing the path of the sun running vertical, this is wrong and will result in a resurvey.
COMPLETING THE REFERENCE DRAWING
COMPLETING THE REFERENCE DRAWING
This is an example of the final map created for this project. Notice the clear legend on the right.
This will make it much easier for design to complete the needed reports utilizing the suneye captures you took on site without having to guess the location.
Draw the entire roof as neatly as possible.
It doesn’t have to be exact, but it has to be close enough that anyone could look at it and know which roof section is which.
Indicate every suneye location. The suneye device will give each skyline in the session a numbered prefix. Mark the map accordingly.
Do not guess the order. Be precise with your labeling.
Label the tilt and azimuth measured for each roof to provide further context.
UPLOADING SUNEYE DATA
UPLOADING SUNEYE DATA
Once completed, upload the suneyes image to the SS Suneyes folder in the drive.
View the video tutorial for how to transfer the data over from the Suneye device.
Watch the video bellow for a walkthrough of how to download the data from the suneye device.
