algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hi,

I've been trying to add glazing to my honeybee surfaces for an apartment building (L1) and about 25% of the windows don't show up after I've added them to the surface. 

I've tried recreating the windows in Rhino many times by drawing a new surface over the top of the 'wall' surface and then changing the size of the new surface to be the size of the window, (to make sure that I have the window on the same plane as the wall) but with no luck. 

Am I missing something simple here? Or am I just not getting the windows to get on the same planar surface as the walls? - If that is the case is there an easy way in Rhino to ensure that the window is on the same plane as the wall -  Its driving crazy!

I've attached my Rhino and GH file (please excuse them, they are a bit of a messy work in progress)

Thanks

Chelle

Rats. I didn't mean to post the last post. I had deleted it and replaced it with something else but obviously didn't drive the internet well enough. What I actually wanted to say was that using your tips I got it all to work so THANK YOU. I really appreciate the help and guidance that you have given me with this.

Hi,


Can I ask another quick question. When you set up this fantastic layout I notice that you didn't intersect the masses before creating the HB zones. I thought you always had to do this? I've tried setting it up to have this happen but I can't quite work out how to do it using your suggested layout. Are you able to advise?

Attachments:

The intersect masses is good when you have masses to intersect (obvious). In your case there is no such situation. Each zone "touches" another one, but no intersection between them. That's why you need "only" the solve adjacencies component. There you solve the common walls, etc.

What you did in your file is outputting the same objects from the input, and after that you were supposed to apply the solve adjacencies.

As for your 2, 3, 4 floors with my proposed layout, you didn't internalised the geometry (but it doesn't matter). I can say that i would think about applying anothe solve adjacencies between the floors, since the floor/ceiling surfaces is not solved before the simulation. This in case you want to calculate the thermal influences between floors. If you assume they have the same conditions maybe you can set them as adiabatic.
