Daylight Analysis didn't work in twist facade?

Hi Camila,

Can you share the file. I would like to give it a try.

Hi Devang, 

Sure, I attached the file.

When the building has twist geometry (doesn't matter the rotation), the walls are full after draw the windows. 

But when the building are orthogonal the simulation works.

Thank you for your help.

Hi camila,

Looking at it fast I've seen two things:

- You haven't put honey bee to run.

- The materials are not defined

I made it run. You will have to check the geometries that are pluged, as I was not very sure of which ones to take. I have grouped the things I added.

Hope it helps you

Hi Camila and Devang,

there are some modelling errors, if you change the model your file works fine. Check the attached file.

Excellent Antonello. You solved it. Cool

Hey all,

In such a geometry where there are tapering walls, I recommend scaling the analysis mesh by a scale of say 0.98. Just to be sure that test points don't fall outside the geometry. Something I learned in Old Diva days.

Thanks for the advice, Devang!
