Hi thank you for the tutorial, I’m getting an error on the LB cumulative sky matrix, it says that no radiance was instilled and that I need to download the version listed on the ladybug tools compatibility matrix? I have the latest ladybug version installed. What can I do?

[@IDesignWise]

You need to install Radiance for grasshopper :) Try and follow this thread: discourse.ladybug.tools/t/radiance-installation/15395 Let me know when it works for you

[@android_dreaming_of_sheep]

Yes, I got the same one

[@filipsovicek1173]

hello, great video, i am just having a problem with a fact that when i run this analysis the colours on the geometry are tinted as if there was a object below it, even though i hid everything. do you have any idea why that could be the case?

[@IDesignWise]

Hmm, my first thought is try and check the normal direction of the geometry that receives the analysis. They should point upwards🔥

[@filipsovicek1173]

All the arrows are pointing outwards, so i still cant find the issue ☹️

[@AlexLopez-ww2od]

When I put the boolean toggle it doesn't popup the website. What browser are you using?

[@IDesignWise]

Hi! You Can access weather files from this website: www.ladybug.tools/epwmap/ Good luck!😊

In grasshopper you can plug the "File Path" component into the EWP. Then just choose the desired location on your computer :)

@@rajendrameena150 what you are trying to do sounds more like a job for honey bee :) I found this website with example files, i believe there is one with thermal comfort under a tree. Maybe you Can manipulate that script into yours? :) Link: hydrashare.github.io/hydra/
