ases where you have angled shades and the component is doing trigonometry to figure out how close the blinds could be to the glass without touching. I just re-wrote the code so that, now you cannot have the blinds closer to the glass than half of the blind slat depth, which seems to be the limit of what E+ will tolerate.
Also, E+ does not like it when you input blinds that are perfectly at 90 degrees so I changed the component to automatically write out shades at 89 degrees when you connect up 90.
Using the Shade geometry as context worked perfectly for me and I am not sure what was wrong in your situation.
See your working file attached.

The values in bold are then evaluated using the equations in the file perezlum.cal inside the RAYPATH directory in Radiance..

Additional arguments required for calculation of skybright: A1 - diffus normalization A2 - ground brightness A3,A4,A5,A6,A7 - coefficients for the Perez model A8,A9,A10 - sun direction}skybright = wmean((Dz+1.01)^10, intersky, (Dz+1.01)^-10, A2 );wmean(a, x, b, y) = (a*x+b*y)/(a+b);intersky = if( (Dz-0.01), A1 * (1 + A3*Exp(A4/Dz) ) * ( 1 + A5*Exp(A6*gamma) + A7*cos(gamma)*cos(gamma) ), A1 * (1 + A3*Exp(A4/0.01) ) * ( 1 + A5*Exp(A6*gamma) + A7*cos(gamma)*cos(gamma) ) );
This data is then mapped to the "glow" material that represents the celestial hemisphere...You can edit the climate based sky produced by Honeybee and enter your own values. The other option would be to just use gendaylit from DOS Prompt.…
