you have to toggle the EcoObjectRequest to get the data.

maybe you should read the manual (located start/gecoGH/addon)

Hi

1. After ecotect's calculation, you plug out the wire which connect E(solar radiant component) and D(the one after)
2. Make a toggle, connect it to D, and shift to true.

Then you will see the mesh with vertex color.

Hello [uto]!

I am not sure where this issue resides or if it is something already reported. It is an annoying behavior. If I do a ecoMeshExport to get geometry to Ecotect (something I do all of the time) and then I run an analysis IN ecotect, I can only visualize the first set of analysis results. For example, lets say I do a Natural Light Level Analysis over an analysis grid (after I do ecoMeshExport from Geco). When Ecotect is finished, it automatically shows me the Daylight Factor in the Analysis Grid Settings. If I want to change to 'Daylighting Level' or 'Internally Reflected,' ecotect does not allow it. If I save the file, close ecotect, and reopen the file, the analysis results are there and I CAN change the analysis data. Other things happen to, for example, I cannot turn on the contours, etc. Can you duplicate this behavior?

I can work around it by saving the file as ecotect right after I send it from Geco, and restarting ecotect.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Best,

Luis

Hi,

please tell me if i want to give a mesh for solar analysis, how can i also give the obstructions in its way? this will give the solar analysis on the mesh with respect to the obstruction shadows. can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks

Hello.

I have a problem with ecotect launch component in geco.

I have recenly upgraded Rhino to version 4 SR9 from SR8 and grasshopper 08.0051 to 08.0063 followed by uninstalling and reinstalling Geco. When I tried to open the file with the geco components, I got the error message in 'EcoLink' component saying "Solution exception:Could not load file or assembly 'NDde,Version=2.1.563.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified".

Could you tell me how to fix this problem? I have Ecotect 2011 installed on my computer.

Thank you so much!

Hi Joo,

please check your start/control panel/uninstall programs and uninstall all gecoGh. Afterwards please install the newest GecoGH v1.030 and it will work properly.

Do not move manually files to other folders!

best,
