Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

ray tracing component

Hi Mostapha and thanks for your help so far.

One more question about the component. If we have surrounding buildings and want to take them into account what do we do? In the example that I attach I have extend the rays towards the sun and then trimed them with the surrounding buildings. How can I delete the trimed rays in grasshopper?

Thanks in advance,

kostas

Hi Kostas,

You need to move the test points first and then use them for raytracing. I also modified the way you generate the test points so they don't intersect with the wall.

The component also couldn't take untrimmed surfaces into account that I fixed it. Check the attached script and use the raytracing component in this script for the rest of your studies.

Hope it helps,

Mostapha
