Ask questions or discuss about One Click LCA.
Hi I am curious if the system considers also the the components of the PV when inputting the PVs by sqm
Hello, I encountered some issues while using the plugin. After completing the material mapping and clicking LCA in cloud, set units of Rhino document to meters occurs, but my model units are already in meters. How can I resolve this issue?
Hi! It depends on the system that you pick. There are EPDs which include all the components and there are systems that are made just for the PV panels. Iād recommend opening the actual EPD as it is up to the manufacturer to decide what they include.
Hello. Thank you for reaching out to us with your query.
The units in Rhino can be set to āmetersā by typing āUnitsā in the command window and adjusting the settings. If youāve already completed this step and the issue still persists, please send us your model for review at support@oneclicklca.com. Weāll be happy to assist you further.
Hello dear Steven
I recently got used to the old interface when it was changed. How can I use the same interface? Currently I have many doubts about the new interface and it is costing me time
Hi Mohamad!
Weāre updating the interface for all our tools to a new version with significant improvements. This means the old interface will (unfortunately in your case) eventually be phased out.
Some of the performance improvements:
- The new interface is roughly 10 times faster.
- Weāve made major improvements to the search functionality.
- You can now work with over 5000 data points per design, up from the previous limit of 500.
For a short time, selected tools will allow you to switch back to the old interface, it is possible your used calculation tool does not allow switching back anymore.
You can learn more about the new interface here ā https://oneclicklca.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/11264475098268-New-Data-Input-Page-BETA
The new interface is still under development, but weāre working hard to bring it to full functionality. It will eventually have a similar feature set to the old interface but with significant performance improvements.
What are your initial thoughts on the new interface? Is there anything youāre unsure about or would like to see improved? Iām happy to answer any questions you have.
Thanks,
Steven
Thank you for your reply
My problem with the new interface is that I can not find the replace and split option.
Also, in the previous interface, the translation was displayed when I selected the information within an EPD with the mouse pointer, but in the current state this is not possible for the Google Translate plugin.
Hi Mohamad. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You are right about the replace and split option, this is not yet available in the new interface but it will be enabled in one of our next updates (this year).
This is interesting feedback regarding the translation not working, and I have not heard of this not working in the new interface. @Aliya could you look into this use-case?
Hi @mohamadhamed, many thanks for sharing your feedback! The replace function is indeed coming later this year while the release timeline for splitting resources has not been decided yet. We will announce both in the release notes once ready!
Regarding Google Translate, which browser are you currently using? I just checked, and the translations were working fine for me in the new interface when using Chrome. If youād like to review this together, we can also jump on a quick call - feel free to book a time slot using this link.
Thank you for your answer
In your opinion, would not it be better to leave the software on the previous interface until the new interface is completed and the necessary options are added. Because this defect is causing a big delay in my process.
I use the Chrome browser. The Google Translate plugin works for me in the software environment. It is only disabled in the EPDs window
@mohamadhamed Sorry for the inconveniences and many thanks for raising this. As a temporary workaround, instead of replacing resources you can add new resources using the new search and then remove the unnecessary one. This flow should actually be faster in the new interface compared to using the replace feature in the old one.
If you are looking to replace multiple similar resources simultaneously, the temporary workaround would be very similar. You can add the same resource to the design multiple times. Then to remove all the similar resources that you no longer need, you can sort your data by āResource nameā. This way all the similar resources are going to be placed next to each other. Then you should be able to select all the resources youād like to get rid of and click āDeleteā to remove them from the design with one click. Hope this speeds up your work while we are working on the replace feature.

@mohamadhamed As for the Google Translate plugin, please let me know if I am following the correct steps. I have Finnish selected in my language settings and I am using GT to translate it to English. For me, the content in the data card is also translated automatically:
Please let me know if you meant something else. Also happy to jump on a call if needed.
Thank you for your patience and attention
See in the picture. Just as Google Translate translates your message in this way by selecting the text, it used to translate the words in the EPD window in the same way, but no longer.
