Hi Philipp, Thanks a lot for your amazing tutorials! I have a question. Is there the possibility of combining the 'dry_bulb_temeprature' and the 'relative_humidity' from the ImportEPW module, by using a complex equation such as the one used for computing the Humidex? and then plotting that data for a year to find the extreme events according to the Humidex instead of the Temperature? I used the LB Arithmetic Operation, and it works, but only allows for simple calculations as + - * %

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

I haven't tried it myself but sure there is a way to calculate and plot the Humidex? Remember that you have the whole arsenal of grasshopper tools available and not just the Ladybug tools. For example the GHpython tool might be of use here...

Hi Philipp, great tutorial. How did you get the ladybug defaultFolder into the canvas? My new version of ladybug do not have all the components, any idea how to fix it?

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

Hey Gael, there are 2 versions of the Ladybug tools. Ladybug legacy tools and Ladybug tools 1.1.0. The later is a newer streamlined version slightly different organized with the most important components. The legacy tools have some more additional components. You can install and run both version parallel. I'm not sure why they took out some of the original components but I could imagine that they wanted to focus on the most important aspects and develop these further. You might have the Ladybug tools 1.1.0 installed. You can find both versions on food for rhino on the same download page. Hope that solves the problem. Cheers Philipp

Hey Philipp, thank you so much. All this while I was thinking that I maybe did not install it properly. You’re the best!!!!

Hi Philip. Tutorial is really awesome. I am facing a strange problem where I do not get directed to a location map after I turn True in the toggle bar. I got the error message saying "Failed to import ladybug_rhino: No module named ladybug_rhino.grasshopper. How could I tackle this. I am waiting for your response. Thanks !

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

Which version of Ladybug tools have you installed? Seems like ladybug was not installed properly...

Hello Philipp, is there a way to import an epw file from local device storage?

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

Yes, there is. You can just save the epw file onto your storage device and then open the file with the 'open epw file' tool. Let me know if you are able to do it or if you need further guidance.

[@PhilippGalvanDesign]

There is also another way. Just creat a panel and copy the files location on your computer or drive including the file name into it and connect it directly with the 'import epw' tool.

@@PhilippGalvanDesign thank you!!! This works!

[@mohitdulani5886]

@@PhilippGalvanDesign i can't find this component though, I am using ladybug 1.3.0. Connecting panel to import epw works fine though! Thank you!
