The View From Above

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Renban:
Digits along a pink line form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.
Meta Renban:
The digits along each of the five renban lines inside the grid must sum to a set of consecutive numbers. (Edit: The sixth Skyscraper renban is not part of the meta renban.)
Skyscrapers:
Digits in the grid represent skyscrapers, with their value corresponding to their heights. Taller skyscrapers obscure all shorter skyscrapers behind them.
The black clues above the grid are Skyscraper clues which indicate the number of skyscrapers that can be seen in that column, viewing from the top down. Some are left to be deduced.

Solution code: Row 6

Very interesting ruleset, a bit tricky but not hard. Thanks!

Dear future solver, not ALL renbans are meta, just the ones in the grid - lost my way at the start from not reading the rules correctly but after catching my error it went fairly smoothly. A bit heavier on the sudoku than I expected. All in all a great puzzle.

Wow, wonderful puzzle. Very smooth solving path. I never felt that I am stuck, there were always some places to look at. However, several steps were not that simple. It took me longer than I expected. So, I’d rated it as 4*.
