3d Result Visualization

This discussion is in response to this comment.

Attached file shows 3 different examples of how you can visualize the results from Honeybee/Ladybug mesh in 3D. The file is not as clean as it should be but I think the logic is easy enough to follow.

Here is the screen captures:

Option I

Option II

Option III

Hi Mostapha,

Thanks for this examples. Presenting results in an understandable fashion is truly important.

I'll ask your help in the attached. I used your file and just changed the mesh and the results. Option 2 is giving me trouble. I think i know where but don't know why: In the DeconstructMesh component, just after LB_RecolorMesh, the input BaseMesh is 49 (7x7 grids), but the output MeshFaces is the square of it (2041). And this is making trouble. In your example both data are the same.

Additionally i'm adding another visualization option, taken from your first workshop. Feel free to improve it.

Thanks,

-A.

Hi Abraham,

For some reason your input mesh was 49 copies of the same mesh. I selected the first one.

MeshFromPoints need number of U and V which is 7 and 7 in your case. Please check the attached file.

Thanks you for adding the forth option. I will use it for coming workshops.

Thanks Mostapha,

So simple, ah?

The question (another one) is why it happened (the mesh copies)? I internalized the results into the mesh component but they came right from LB calculations ...

You're very welcome. I think I should automate the process of 3d presentation so the script takes care of issues like this.

It hard to say without checking the file. My best guess is that data trees are not right somewhere. Either you have a list connected to an item access input or you grafted the data for one of the inputs.

Funny ... you know that so far i don't list or graft things :-)

Attached the original file.

Thanks,

You are moving the mesh 49 times instead of doing it once. That was the list! :)

Hi Mostapha! This is great! Good work!

I've been trying to get contour lines to display on my mesh several times now, but without success. Great to see that you have a way of displaying that. The other 3D options are also really cool.

(*Edited) I was having some issues with the contour lines. Solved it my playing around with the UV inputs of the 'MeshFromPoints' component. The problem was that I had U>V, but I solved it by making V<U

hallo Mostapha, hallo community,

i am facing this problem and i am not able to fix it...in attached files it shows even if i change the scale, the lux values next to windows are always the same...and with different scale, it changes but the values next to the window shows the same number...any idea?

thx in advance!,

ah, i found the problem...when the grid points are high , then it doesn't work ..., when i lower the grid points the it works..

it will be great if it works with higher grid points..

any idea? thx in advance!

Nass,

It will help to see the GH file to check.

I don't think there is a problem with the height you set your test points. I'll guess it is more related to the section of your wall. I mean where the window starts, what is the sill height, or something in this direction.
