Ladybug Installation problems

1. You downloaded Ladybug, Installed it but as soon as you drag a component into the canvas you see something similar to this:

You probably don't have GHPython installed on your system. Download GHPython and install it and it should work fine.

2. You still see the image above in case 1 however you have GHPython already installed. What about that?

In this case probably the GHA component is blocked. Find GHPython.GHA on your system (usually at: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Grasshopper\Libraries) . Right click, go to properties and select unblock.

To make sure that GHPython is working fine on your system open the attachment file (testGHPython.gh). You should see something similar to the image below on your screen when you open the file:

If you see the something similar you should be fine to go! Try to open one of the example files.

3. You have Ladybug running but in some of the case the output is missing. You see something similar to this:

or this

This one is because you are using old version of GHPython. Close the file without saving. Download the new version and install it and re-open the file. It should work fine now.

Hope it helps,

Mostapha

You don't need to re-install Ladybug and Honeybee. The error shows that GHPython is not installed correctly. How do you know that GHPython is installed correctly? Can you drop a GHPython component to canvas with no issues?

Thank you for your reply , Yeah when I drop it , it doesn't make any changes but when I want to use the ladybug parameters the same error message appeared. an when I opened the file that you'd suggested to Mehrnoush (TestGHPhyton) this it sends me this error

Looks like you're using and old version of Grasshopper, and/or GHPython. Updating to the latest versions should solve the issue.

wow Thanks Mostapha it worked ! thanks a lot , just in new lady-bug some parameters are different isn't it? for example in "sun path" component we don't have latitude,longitude, time zone ...

Hi Steve, As far as I understand Grasshopper is not loading Ladybug userobjects. This is more of a Grasshopper issue and Giulio or David should know the answer. Giulio is on this discussion so I believe he will get back to you about this soon.
