Hi,

You're providing sunAltitudes instead of sunVectors

All of your files are missing the geometry. Please internalize.

Kang: The second file is a mess with such amount of importEPW and sunPath components inserted and chained.

hi Guys.

i had a go with very simple surrounding and it kind of worked, but once i tested with a project the result seems wrong cas my max height is at 450M and the "Separate by Normal" had issue. there should be a result of 2 srfs with solar envelope & collection.

The rhino file is not recognized. Try to internalise the geometry.

Hi A

thanks for helping, I realize that inserting context volume it will not recognize polysurface but its fine with box extrusions. so the problems are 1st; if context massing needs to be more exact then the component fail to read. 2nd; not all the context requires max solar hours. for example requirement for commercial is low, for residential would be 3 hr during winters. so instead i used solar hours analysis in LB to simulate a Massing from rhino to do the task for now. but if these can combined than it should able to simulate Max of air right envelope.
