Hi Arthur

we tried to reproduce the error but it never happens.

It is also a problem to find the error because your error print-screen is in russian and i am not so fluent in russian ;)

Hi guys,

I just re-opened the file, and got the same error message as Andrey, maybe this can help identifying what is happening?

Please find attached the updated files which we are using.

Thank you very much,

Arthur

Hi Arthur,

i can not reproduce this error,

the next thing is that we even do not use GH_EventParam so the message is really confusing....So far what i know is that this class has been removed in the GH0.8.0006 and 7.

We will not further investigate in this topic because there is no way for us to solve it because we have no errors and the message is, as i said before, really strange. We also compared the two files and nothing changed (we compared the xml code ;))

Are you sure you didn't deleted meshedit.gha after converting back to GH08.0004 or did something else?

Hi to],

Thanks a lot for your answer!

I actually just realized that this machine is running on GH 8.006. Maybe the best would just be to convert the whole def to the new 07 version.

I will do that!

Thanks again,

Arthur

dear uto]

Amazing work¡¡¡

It happens the same to me, or similiar with the example file.

There is a component, EcoLightCal, that becomes orange if 3d grid is On, it says: Connection with ecotec instance unsuccessful, are you sure that ecotec is running? Everything is ok with ecotec but D output is null.

On the other hand, in the 2D calculation, how can I select another slice as current slice?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers. Antonio

Thank you for the quick reply on my previous post. I am trying to calculate radiant levels on a generic surface. When I do the object request the returned mesh is a solid blue although the RGB levels show varying levels of color in the Panel (string). It seems that my problem is similar to the prior post but I changed the scales and was still unsuccessful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Matt

Hi Matt

if you want to a analysis your building please do not use the build-in mesher. Before export always make sure you have single faces with the face-normal pointing to the sky, otherwise your result will be wrong.

see attached image

Hi uto,

I have a question about the Solar Access Analysis exercise.

The Insolation Calculation (EcoSolCal) button in the example does not seem to change the results when I adjust the [A] (Integer) parameter from 0 Cumulative, to 1 Average Daily, to 2 Average Hourly, or to 3 Peak.

Thanks for any help here,

Noah
