Youwind Layout Import

Youwind Layout Import lets you place assets in a Simulation case using asset positions imported from Youwind. Only asset positions (latitude and longitude) are imported — no other asset data or case settings are changed.

Use this when you are creating or updating a case and want to use the wind farm layout from Youwind instead of placing assets manually or using the default layout.

Where can I find Youwind Layout Import?

You can find the feature in:

Project > Case > Asset > Import from Youwind

The button appears in the case asset configuration area, where asset positions are managed.

Before you start

To use this feature:

Your organization must have an active Youwind account.
The Youwind wind farm must belong to your customer account.
You must have access to the Youwind and Shoreline project and case you want to integrate.
The case must already contain the assets you want to position.

Import asset positions from Youwind

Open the relevant project.
Open the case you want to update.
Go to the asset configuration area.
Select the relevant asset group.
Click Import from Youwind.
Choose the Youwind wind farm you want to import from.
Wait for the import to complete.
Review the asset positions in the case.

The import updates the latitude and longitude of assets in the current case. Note: The import only updates existing assets — it does not create new ones. If the case has no assets, add placeholder assets before running the import. The number of assets updated matches the number of existing assets in the case: for example, if the case contains 10 assets, only the first 10 positions from Youwind are applied.

Available Youwind wind farms

The Import from Youwind dropdown lists the Youwind wind farms available for your customer account.

Each available wind farm may include:

Wind farm name
Number of asset positions available
Last updated date

Only wind farms already received from Youwind are available to import.

What is imported?

The import updates asset positions only.

The following values are imported:

Latitude
Longitude

The following values are not imported or changed:

Asset type
Asset count
Asset setup
Case settings
Other configuration values
Other objects or data from Youwind

How asset positions are matched

Asset positions are applied to the assets that already exist in the selected asset group.

If the number of assets in the case and the number of asset positions in Youwind are different:

If Youwind has fewer asset positions than the case, only the matching number of assets are updated. The remaining assets keep their existing positions.
If Youwind has more asset positions than the case, only the matching number of positions are used. Extra Youwind positions are not added.
The import does not create new assets.
The import does not remove existing assets.

Important limitations

This integration currently imports asset positions only.
The import overwrites the existing latitude and longitude for the assets it updates.
The import does not update asset names, types, counts, or other asset details.
The import does not create a new case.
The import does not create new assets.
Only valid asset point locations from Youwind can be imported.
Wind farms are limited to the Youwind data available for your customer account.
If no Youwind data has been received for your account, there may be nothing to select.

Troubleshooting

I cannot see the Import from Youwind button

Check that you are in the correct location:

Project > Case > Asset

You also need access to the case. If you still cannot see the button, contact your Shoreline administrator or Shoreline support to confirm whether Youwind data is enabled for your account.

The dropdown is empty

This usually means Shoreline does not currently have any Youwind wind farm data available for your customer account.

Ask your administrator to confirm that Youwind data has been sent to Shoreline for your organization.

The wind farm I need is missing

Only wind farms received for your customer account are listed. If a wind farm is missing, confirm that it exists in Youwind and has been shared with or sent to Shoreline for your account. If it has, contact your Shoreline administrator to request that the data be made available.

Not all assets were updated

The import only updates the number of assets that can be matched between the current asset group and the selected Youwind wind farm.

For example, if the case has 50 assets but the Youwind wind farm has 45 valid asset positions, only 45 assets are updated.

Assets are empty/blank after import

Ensure that the case already contains assets before running the import. The import updates existing asset positions and cannot create new assets. Add the required assets to the case, then run the import again.

Some asset positions look unchanged

This can happen if the selected Youwind wind farm has fewer valid asset positions than the current case, or if some Youwind positions could not be imported.

Review the selected wind farm and confirm that the expected asset positions are available in Youwind.

The import updated the wrong layout

The import applies positions to the current asset group in the open case. Before importing, make sure you are in the correct project, case, and asset group.

I need to undo an import

There is no undo action for this import. If the wrong wind farm was imported, select and import the correct Youwind wind farm to overwrite the positions, or manually adjust the asset positions in the case.
