Comment by Rex T on December 12, 2011 at 9:10am: thanks so much for the reply Jeff!
but i still couldn't work DIVA on SR8, the message tells me I have to get latest version, so that means only SR9?

Comment by Jeff Niemasz on December 12, 2011 at 9:05am: Yes the current version uses climate based daylight metrics. In the current grasshopper component the default is daylight autonomy, but the data for other climate based metrics are also stored in the results folder.

Comment by Rex T on December 12, 2011 at 8:54am: can diva for rhino also work with Rhino4 SR8 or only SR9?

And another confusing question for me, is Daylight component in DIVA 1.9 already climate based? Cuz I see an output of 'daylight autonomy', or it'll wait till DIVA 2.0?

Comment by Jeff Niemasz on December 9, 2011 at 9:49pm: Hi Xiaoming, You are correct, we noticed the new energy plus release this week which included some changes to the input file which are probably causing the problem. We will hopefully straighten this out soon. Eventually we plan to link a version of energy plus to the installation so it will always be in sync.

Comment by Xiaoming Yang on December 8, 2011 at 11:33pm: Hi, Jeff. I just downloaded the new DIVA and want to try the thermal tools. But I noticed we can only download energyPlus version 7 from the website and it does not work well with DIVA 1.9. Maybe it is because of the folder name? Do you have a solution for this? Thank you.

Comment by Jeff Niemasz on November 30, 2011 at 8:23am: Hi Davide, the component can be downloaded from the wiki installation page here

Comment by Davide Scialò on November 30, 2011 at 8:03am: can some pious soul send me the DIVA grasshopper component? I re-installed grasshopper and DIVA hided. I don't want re-instal DIVA too, it takes too much times and then it is already on my pc istalled.

Comment by Jeff Niemasz on October 28, 2011 at 4:51pm: DIVA 1.9 is available for download and the wiki has been updated with old and new video tutorials. Let us know any problems or recommendations, thanks.

Comment by Jeff Niemasz on October 16, 2011 at 12:47pm: Hi Matthew, we are about to release diva 1.9 which will have the new toolbar scheme and a thermal analysis component. The solar tools have been revised and added as a new panel. The nodes component has been integrated into the analysis component to make iterations where the analysis sensors are changing with the geometry work smoother. The tutorials, download, and updated wiki will be synchronized in the next couple days.

Comment by Matthew Schexnyder on October 16, 2011 at 9:16am: Hi,

I have just installed DIVA and I'm noticing that I have a different toolbar for DIVA in grasshopper than the one shown in Jeff's install tutorial video. My DIVA toolbar for grasshopper only has the "Analysis" and "Materials" icons; I assumed there would be more options after seeing Jeff's video. I installed the DIVA 1.1f, could this have something to do with the missing grasshopper toolbar items? Any info would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
