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.

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...…

Plug it², primo step del percorso formativo in tre fasi “AAD Workshop Series“, è il corso più seguito in Italia sulla modellazione parametrica, giunto al sesto anno consecutivo di attivazione. Plug it² fornirà ai partecipanti un’effettiva padronanza delle più avanzate tecniche di modellazione digitale, approfondendo le metodologie della modellazione algoritmica e parametrica nel campo dell’architettura e del design del prodotto. Il corso è rivolto a studenti e professionisti dei settori della progettazione architettonica, design, moda e gioielleria, con esperienza minima nel disegno CAD bidimensionale (acquisita su qualsiasi piattaforma software) e si articolerà in lezioni teoriche frontali ed esercitazioni guidate.

work. As payload it uses protocol buffers which is optimised for transport and storage, and is Google's lingua franca for data. It would be great to use it for extensibility in grasshopper.
As gRPC supports both C# and Python I didn't think it would take many lines of code, but I have so far failed to put it together. Could anyone please describe to me best practice is in such case, and/or want to collaborate on the project? I can picture an open repo on gitHub or similar.
My main qustions are:
Should I use C# or Python?
Can I use Visual Studio 2017? All the VS 2015 installers have failed on my computer.
Do I have to use Visual Studio, or can I get away with the built-in editor? What are the main limitations using one over the other?
Can I build Rhino5 GH components in VS2017? I have built a Rhino 6 GH component from the McNeel template, but it did not work when opened in Rhino 5 GH (currently only R6 templates are available for VS2017).
Can Rhino 5's old ironPython deal with the newer gRPC package?
What's the best way to do rapid iterations and version controll building GH comps?
TL;DR: I want to build a very simple gRPC.io client GH component, and appreciate all help I can get.
Many thanks, Martin…
opening a simple file with 30 curves being lofted took like 2 minutes to complete and Rhino crashed afterwards saying:"Windows is out of memory and Rhino will close after you click ok."evethough I still had 7GB of free physical memory and my page file is set also to 16 GB just to be shure...I then switched to Rhino 5.0 Version 5 SR14 64-bit (5.14.522.8390, 05/22/2017) which also had big problems to display the lofted surface. It was unresponsive after loading the file for a minute and a half and then it normally displayed the lofted surface. Every move of camera takes at least 10 seconds to update, but at least it runs. GH profiler says the loft took only 12 ms (90%).
So I'm suspected my graphics card, because the Windows are just three weeks from a clean install. I've also updated my Graphics Driver from the stock Windows one to Intel HD one, but nothing changed.Is there something I'm missing??? What can I try next?My specs:CPU: i5-3320M @ 2.60 GHzRAM: 16 GBGPU: Intel HD Graphics 4000, driver: 07.04. 2017, version 10.18.10.4653

n get the correct results with cooling loads:
3. After I update LB+HB, a warning is given for the set EP construction component:
4. so I replaced it with the latest one (Feb 05, 2017):
5. Now the cooling loads is missing from the result for reason unknown ...
May I ask if the missing cooling loads is related to the latest update of LB+HB? What component update is causing this problem?
BTW, I'm using Singapore's epw file, and for a tropical city, there should be no heating energy at all. So, sth clearly is wrong over here ...
Thanks.
