In a nutshell
This video shows in 2 minutes most features in Windplanner.
25 minute demonstration
How to plan and visualize a wind project in Windplanner, step-by-step.
3D turbine model
How to create a new turbine model, and adjust the turbine brand and dimensions to your needs.
Delete a turbine
How to delete a wind turbine: this tutorial shows two ways of deleting wind turbines.
Coordinate system
How to change your coordinate system. Windplanner can handle most systems.
Wind and time
How to change the date, time, wind direction and speed, and see immediately the effect of the shadows in 3D.
Geo layers in 2D world
How to change your 2D layers and the layer opacity: you can stack several layers, to help to understand the local situation.
Turbines in new layout
How to create a new layout (scenario) and place turbines in this layout.
Place by coordinates
How to place turbines by coordinates. You can copy-paste data from your files; the coordinates must be separated with a comma.
Manual masking

Make a screenshot
How to make a high-resolution screenshot, for usage in reports or presentations.
Position, calibrate and mask
How to get a correct photomontage when entering a StreetView photo. by matching it with the underlying 3D world.
Calibrating and SkyDetect
How to calibrate a photo with the 3D world for a correct photomontage and how to use SkyDetect tool (alternative to manual masking, based on artificial intelligence).
Satellite images
The quality of the satellite images varies per location. This video shows how to change the satellite images in the 3D world.
Turbine markers
You can choose to show markers of the turbines, viewpoints and StreetView panos, or to switch off these markers.
Shadows in the 3D world
How to show the shadows of the turbines in the 3D world.
Animation of viewpoints
How to create an animation; flying from one viewpoint to another. Use screencapture software if you want to export the animation.
Upload custom layer
How to upload your own custom data layer, to help understanding the local situation.
Color blades and mast
