Hi Nicole,

1. Can you connect "Honeybe_honeybee" and also "Ladybug_ladybug" components to a panel?  

And please upload messages here.

like this:

messages tell you what are missed or need to resolve.

2. probably you need download the source file manually and copy it to Ladybug's default folder. It should be "c:\ladybug" or  "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Ladybug",

best

Hi Omid, after inserting the panels, i realised that the problem was with "white space". 
I went to google how to solve this problem, and I found out that I had to set the "defaultFolder_ input to Ladybug_Ladybug". I couldn't find anything about white space with honeybee, so I assume that I have to set the default folder of honeybee to "C:\honeybee".

My ladybug and honeybee seems to be running fine now! Thanks for your help!

Cheers, Nicole

Hi, just another question.

I still cannot seem to run my simulation, because of this error with gendaylit. I have checked my folder and I see gendaylit in my Radiance bin. May I know if there is any reason for this?

Regards, Nicole.

Nicole, 

Please read the Installation Instructions, (Install Radiance to C:\Radiance)!.

For default folder set the "C:\Ladybug" it's enough for both of them.

You can also change your username with no white space (best solution).

Best,

-Omid.
