Boundary condition changes after moving

This is expected. Honeybee overwrites the boundary condition for the moved objects. I see your point though. Maybe we should only overwrite the boundary condition if it is set to another surface and otherwise keep it similar to the source object.

Thanks for your prompt reply. It would be great if you could add that option to the HB_Move_HB component. Because otherwise sometimes it's too difficult to select some surfaces and set their boundary conditions after moving them.

Aryan, We can make it available in Grasshopper later. For now open the component and change line 83 to

    HBObject.transform(transform, clearSurfacesBC=False)

This will set clearSurfacesBC to False so boundary conditions stays the same as the source object.

That works well. Thank you Mostapha

Dear Mostapha, I'd like to apply similar change to HB_Rotate_HB and HB_Mirror_HB too.

In case of Mirror, Line 82 is:

HBObject.transform(transform, True, True)

Shall I delete the "Ture"s and change the line to the following?

HBObject.transform(transform, clearSurfacesBC=False)

The function takes 3 parameters (or technically 4).

def transform(self, transform, clearSurfacesBC = True, flip = False)

    # ...

You should only change the first boolean to False. Flip should stay True for rotate.

HBObject.transform(transform, False, True)
