If all of the strips are similar to the one in your image, maybe try TT Toolbox's unroll component?
http://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/tt-toolbox-unfold-component ;
(A -> AB, B -> BA) -> in result you get AB BA
n=3: ABBABAAB (A->AB;B->BA;B->BA;A->AB) result: AB BA BA AB
n=4: ABBABAABBAABABBA (etc. etc.)
You can find some more details in 'The Algorithmic beauty of plants' - it is freely available as a PDF:

The values in bold are then evaluated using the equations in the file perezlum.cal inside the RAYPATH directory in Radiance..
{ All-weather Angular Sky Luminance Distribution . 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.…
more complex geometries, nothing works anymore and the output is weird: every test point has the same value (97% DA) and it's impossible to visualize these values even if a text tag 3D is assigned to points (check Result.jpg)
The output that we get is a uniform mesh.
To check this output we also run an illuminance analysis using the same test surface, giving 300lux as high and low bound and some areas didn't reach the target value - which means that there must be some areas below that threshold.
Another thing: as you can see from Screenshot.jpg at one point we get the string saying *.dgp not found. Is that a problem?
Attached you can find the Grasshopper file.
Thank you all!
