Multifacet heliostats can be implemented in Tonatiuh++. An example of an azimuth-elevation heliostat with two facets can be seen in the Figure below.

In the example above, the two facets are attached on the secondary axis of the tracker. The above example is included in the examples folder of the Tonatiuh++ installation directory. A how to video in shown below on how to recreate the above.
