s for input and the result will be always in SI! There is an internal conversion from Model Units to Meters. [Warning: I developed and tested the 'bug only in meters and I haven't tested it [intensively] for other units. I recommend you to use meters for now.]
2. Correct! If you input a mesh the component will use the initial mesh as the test grid else it will be meshed based on the gridSize which you won't have full control...
3. Correct! That's how you can minimize the time of the study to zero not calculating what you don't need to know! :)
4. Correct! [and that's why the direction of the normal of the surfaces does matter. It should face outward.]
5. You can do that but then the accuracy of the result could be questionable in some cases. As djordje said center points are the test points and probably you don't want all the glazing to be evaluated based on one single point in case the glass is partially shaded. I understand why are you doing that though and I will add the option to average the result for each test surface similar to what I show in this video 22:27 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoMy4O3vN6g), so you can subdivide the test surface and then get the average results for the surface.
Best,

1. Buy some anti gravity tissue (available on request by Fotiadis ACME Industries: any color you want, payment in advance, cash only).
2. Create a pavement with a rectangular hole. Use Buchtal Bosco tiles (the most expensive stuff around > we live once). Avoid trees (it's too late) and/or anything (Less is more).

3 .Put Vodka into the hole (I do hope Russian top stuff).
4. Do a semi submerged grid of tissues (vertical due to 1 - or your money back).
4. Provide armchairs to the spectators (these things take time). Put ZZTop on the stereo (or Cure). Empty your mind. Reset.
5. Wait for some appropriate wind and/or the 4 horsemen (whatever comes first).
Moral: ResetNowForEver…
ine (to greatness):
1. If I was you I'll use boundaries derived from offsetting inwards the inner/outer terrain loops where distance = top cone radius + something (better safe than sorry).
2. That way the "perimeter" chopped cones would be intact cones.
3. Additionally I would use the C# provided in some previous def that does controlled random points (no point with a min distance to any other > a given value [in plain English: top cone radius + something]) and avoid the intersection part as well. This speeds up the whole process and makes it far more logical with regard the structural approach: there's no reason to use "columns" that "overlap".
4. I'll provide a virus placement C# that works with DataTrees of points instead of making them internally using a BrepFace (that's the easiest of things). That way you can control the points properly and use the C# once (as an option) ONLY for putting viruses around using any branch you want.
5. "Columns"/cones derived from, say, 2 separate def sectors (why?) MUST been handled within a single DataTree where branch 0 contains the cones related with viruses and branch 1 (or more) contains the others
But what actually has Daniel to do with all these? If you have a vault in mind ... why bother with stupid cones et all? (Daniel does this for you). Provide some sketch related with the final goal. Or you maybe intend to feed K1/2 with stiffer springs (from cones) and less stiff ones (from top) - if so DON'T join the breps. …
I am not knowledgeable about google maps nor google maps api, but from what I read the two components will definitely show a bit different results due to different topography sources.If it is judging by this 2010 article, your Terrain Generator component offers much higher precisions for USA. Precision goes up to a couple of meters, which is amazing!!On the global scale it offers either SRTM 1 or 3 arc-second data or 30 arc-second GLOBE data. Again this is from the mentioned article, I couldn't find this information by searching the Google Maps website.Terrain Generator 2 component always uses SRTM 1 arc-second data from opentopography.org, and it is limited to 60 degrees north and does not have data for Antarctica. It does not come with satellite image either which is another very convenient feature that you have!I couldn't find information about the allowed radius provided by the Google maps api free account. I limited the "radius_" input to 100 000 meters, even though opentopography.org provides more than that (I successfully downloaded 300 000, but Rhino 5 was not able to create a topography on my PC from such a large amount of data).Even though I couldn't compare the results from two components, by looking at your upper example_LB_terrain_generator.gh definition: set the "I" input of "Surface from points" component to True. In this way the surface will be interpolated through points, which is what we want.
Again thank you for the permission, and I look forward seeing those high precision topography that Google maps offers!!…
lues are of any use from a display perspective as some IES files tend to have upwards of a 1000 numbers. That is why the candela values are visualized in the Rhino viewport.
2. Did you check out the (relatively) new Honeybee_IES Project component? It does produce a Bill of Quantity and also allows an export to Excel. I have explained this here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/xn/detail/2985220:Comment:1474434
3. Eulumdat to IES is an easy fix. I wasn't aware that anybody had tested this using Eulumdat files. I will add this feature when I update the code next time.
4. Can you describe this simulation? The time taken by the simulation itself should not be that long because Radiance ( the calculation engine) has optimization algorithms to tackle multiple sources. My comment about multiple sources had more to do with Rhino than HB itself.
5. What do you mean by material design ? As in textures for surfaces?
Now, with regards to future work, we don't have a road-map of sorts at present as personally I am not quite sure about what might be useful to people who work exclusively with electric lighting. Most of the (vocal) users of Honeybee tend to be interested in Daylighting and that is where our development efforts have centered over the past year. You can read more about it here and here.
If there is some sort of consensus-based opinion from lighting designers on what would be useful we will look into adding new features.…
g a single design and you wish the others to be updated to that view also? There's a trade off here as we would need an extra button on the viewport (that we're trying to keep uncluttered as best we can)... I think it wouldn't be too bad. I'll put it on the enhancement list on git.
2) One of the best things about meshes in wpf is the simplicity... one of the worst things is lack of vertex shading which is a real pain. Getting into OpenGL, DirectX, etc. is not going to happen with the spare time I currently have, but what you suggest is quite a nice compromise (i.e. one colour per mesh). I'm still hoping I can figure a method to get vertex shading with wpf (stackoverflow shows others with similar struggles!), although it looks very tricky. We are looking into it!
3) It is, and yes this is a big problem when the mapping between genotype and phenotype is indirect (for example, the gh definition contains a random component or something). You can compare on the phenotype as you suggest, but this takes computational effort, such as some form of shape analysis. One hope is to compare genotype and phenotype 'solution' spaces (and thus give a measure of directness). On the TODO list!
4) Hmmm, not thought of that one. Good idea, a kind of import design into population. Thanks! That could work nicely.
5) Current idea is to maybe save a population history file, which would as you suggest act like a state manager of sorts. The data structure is quite complex in order to future proof the history approach, but we think we have a nice way of doing it and will be in the next release.
Thanks again for your feedback Chris, its much appreciated.
Best wishes,
John.
PS: What is that mesh shape you have there? Curious.

3. revised code with the "\n" new line symbol added:
4. correct IDF file with the cooling loads outpu variable in a separate line:
5. cooling loads can now be correctly calculated and read:
Please kindly verify if this is the source of issue, and if this is the case, I'd appreciate if the current runEP component can be updated.
Thanks.

3. However, the readEPSrfResult component cannot recognize this variable:
4. Nevertheless, for unknown strange reason, I'm unable to reproduce the above warning for this test file later, and it seems that this variable can be read by the readEPSrfResult component, for now....
5. I got the same warning in other GH file I'm testing which included the surface irradiance as output variable. So, I'm not sure why the warning is not consistent across different files ...
Appreciate if you can kindly advise.
