#16 Direct Sun Hours - All You ever Need - Ultimate Ladybug Course - LBT 1.6

Learn how to use the Direct SunHours analysis component in Ladybug Tools for Grasshopper 3D! This component allows you to calculate how many hours of direct sunlight hit a surface or point on your model over a specified time period.
In this Ladybug tutorial, I'll show you how to set up the Direct SunHours component, connect your Grasshopper model, specify the time period to analyze, and view the Sun Hour results. We'll go over how to interpret the color mapping of results and use this data to understand sunlight exposure on your design.
Whether you're analyzing a building facade, public space, or shading structures, Direct SunHours is an essential environmental analysis tool for sunlight and solar gain. Follow along to learn how to harness the power of Ladybug in your Grasshopper workflows!

Hi! Thanks for all your videos. I followed the steps in the tutorial and still have an error in the LB Direct Sun Hours that shows "1. Input parameter _vectors failed to collect data!". I set the boolean toggle in true and i tried different locations in the weather URL but the problem persists. Any idea what could be happening?

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

What to time frame period did you choose?

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

Make sure you follow all steps. Most people skip large portions of the videos. Do you have any other errors showing? Any red objects?

hi great job, do you know you can do same simulation inside unreal engine, a specialy wind sim with the plugin call niagara?

Can anyone help with my problem, my surface for a house only shows blue with around 2000 hours for half a year period I have followed every step the same and still can't work it out

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

Have you placed your house as context?

[@chrisbassett9744]

@@PhilippGalvanDesign After I initially flipped the surface I never added back the house as context which is what was leaving me with all blue. So thank you for reminding me, helped me a lot !
