algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hey all!
I have some problems with converting a brep to a surface.
The case is that I am simulating solar potential and more precisely the suitable area for installing PVs on the building envelope. After I simulate I have a component that determines the area that has irradiation over 650 kWh/m2. From there on I separate this whole area into roof and facade.
The problem dividing the area occurs only when I simulate a building with a closed courtyard, where the roof fails to be evaluated (EvaluateSrf). It seems that the program struggles with recognizing the geometry somehow...
Does anyone know how to solve this?
I have attached the Rhino and GH files. Take a look at the Brep to Divide component which I have indicated.
Thanks :)

As with the curve->brep problem, there are two reasons why Brep->Surface might fail:
Hi David,
Thanks for both of your replies. I completely forgot that I might be using add-ons that not everybody has. Thanks for the tip.
I have used my own component where I divide each surface into smaller ones to create a grid for the calculation (did not use DIVA analysis grid because if I have a stranger building shape it create triangular meshes, which is not very clean). So as you said in 1) this is probably the problem. Is there a way to fix this, or your advice is just to use the mesh from DIVA?
I have attached the file again (hope I did it correctly).
