e a "game changer" regarding lighting simulations and analysis. To harness the power of Grasshopper, the flexibility of Rhino in a lighting specific application is, I believe, already the future.
Because of the above I am a big proponent of Honeybee for the professional environment, but I feel that there are still a few shortcomings... from what I have tried.
1. It should be "photometrically" more comprehensive, not just for illuminance, luminance and energy (W.h). Other quantities are of great importance, namely intensity and flux.
2. Producing documentation is a big advantage (if not the main advantage) of dedicated packages such as Dialux or AGI32, it would be nice to see it as a strong feature in Honeybee as well.
3. Support for Eulumdat would be a nice feature.
4. There is a performance issue with multiple sources as you mentioned. I have tried a "simple" analysis with 120 sources and it takes, indeed, a substantial amount of time to produce the result. Don't know where the bottleneck is, perhaps not Honeybee's to blame, but it is a hindrance in using the software for complex simulations.
5. Material/surface design would benefit from more options.
Finally, do you have a roadmap of sorts and what can the users expect from Honeybee electic lighting in 2017?
Have a great year!! All the best.

ne) graphs, makes a classic VV (vertex to vertex connectivity) Adjacency Matrix based on what Sandbox has to say (the Matrix is not actually required if someone wants to stay 100% in the GH world) and then ...er ... hmm ... attempts to find closed circuits as Microsoft suggests (forgot/lost the link but who cares? not me anyway [see VS stuff attached]).
It's quite faulty (like Windows) ... but is an indication on some things. Try to understand the recursion (critical in most AEC stuff). Recursion means that Matteo calls Matteo who calls Matteo ... until Matteo calls Maria and the loop is over. Notify if you need other recursion C# examples on other things (dozens available).
The working(?) chopped (minus sensitive stuff) real thing next week: just realized that this w/e there's the Malaysian MotoGP (Valentino lost the championship) AND a critical Formula 1 race in Mexico (forza Lewis).
Attached as well the original VS stuff from Microsoft (requires VS 2017)…

box) generating so many edges?
You can see that I want to check the volume of the "pipes" , but there are so many duplicates (or at least very close values) that it gives wrong results. How can I remove duplicates here? Vertices also have many duplicates, face might have too.
Second - how can I extrude the different panels (the ones in the end geometry, that are already rotated) such, so the extrusion happens perpendicular the each of them. I will cut them out of 3 mm Plexiglas, but I can cut it only in 90°.
Thanks to anyone that is willing to help, I already tried so many options and nothing worked...…

ir surroundings. Our built environment continues to evolve, into an interconnected hyperspace where architecture can be fluid, flexible and vivid. In 2017, AA Athens Visiting School, will address architectural themes involving active engagement and participatory design through prototypes that are characterized by action.
Action-designed structures enabled by technology today, begin to timidly move beyond the utopian proposals of the 20th century’s manifestos and hold a place in the world of realized designs. The AA Athens Visiting School incorporates in the design process, materials and scientific devices as vital parts of the end-creations. The research aims at bringing closer the user with the built environment via space animation and animate and in its’ methodology, it rethinks habits of designing, building and experiencing space through materiality. In “SYMMETRY SENTIENCE”, materiality and form are considered as a “unified whole”. The programme will investigate how membranes can reshape our architectural understanding by bringing curvature and translucency. The design teams will focus on the flexible nature of tensile fabric that can be energized by motion and real-time reaction to various parameters. In this world of “living” structures and interactive formations, the design language includes Processing, Arduino, Rhino Modelling, and Grasshopper. The architecture programme, integrates manufacturing techniques that enable the design teams to actively experience the aspect of fabrication in 1:1 scale. A set of lectures and tutorials by experts from internationally renowned academics and practitioners, from the Architectural Association, Zaha Hadid Architects and others, form the theoretical background based on aspects of computational space, machinic control as well as responsive and kinetic design.
Eligibility
The workshop is open to architecture and design students and professionals worldwide.
Accreditation
Participants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate with the completion of the Programme.
