Got Questions about Virto.CAD? We’ve got Answers!
Virto.CAD is designed for PV engineers and EPC engineering teams working on solar carports, commercial & industrial rooftop, and utility-scale ground-mount PV projects.
In order to use Virto.CAD, your PC needs to meet specific system requirements:
- Graphics hardware requirements for AutoCAD
- System Requirements for AutoCAD
- System Requirements for BricsCAD
If you need any assistance, please contact our support team.
Yes, you need either AutoCAD or BricsCAD.
No, Virto.CAD includes 3D modeling options so you can easily create 3D models yourself. Moreover, it is also possible to import 3D models from other parties.
We offer a combo deal with Plex-Earth to create 3D terrains and imagery. Talk to sales for more info.
We offer licences for Professional, Advanced and Enterprise subscriptions. You can find more information on our pricing page or contact sales here.
- Professional: for PV engineering focused on roof projects.
- Advanced: for PV engineering for any C&I project.
- Enterprise: for PV engineering focuses on utility ground mount.
Yes, you can request a demo or start with a trial to explore Virto.CAD’s PV engineering and design capabilities for commercial, industrial, and utility-scale solar projects. Contact our sales team to start a free trial.

Yes, check our training page for available dates or request a custom training session for you and/or your team here.
You can create 3D terrains and imagery easily with our partner plugin Plex-Earth. You can also use any other similar software that can generate 3D meshes as dwg / dxf. Moreover, TIN surfaces generated in AutoCAD Civil 3D or BricsCAD Pro are also accepted by our software.
No, Virto.CAD does not simulate solar energy yield. However, we do provide a direct export to PVsyst to simulate the solar energy yield via PV collada (.pvc format). Since PVsyst is still one of the most accurate yield simulations, we feel very confident leaning on their software for this.
Yes, you can import .dwg files.
Moreover, Virto.MAX and Virto.CAD are connected, allowing you to re-use existing files. How it’s done:
- Export your project as a .dwg file in Virto.MAX
- Open Virto.CAD – open your Virto.MAX .dwg file
- Continue in Virto.CAD
Additionally, you can also use conceptual 2D CAD designs and rebuild those into Virto.CAD projects.
