Sun Hour Analysis using Dynamo (Feasibility Part 9)

[@rezwanulhoque117]

ladybug package not work in revit 2021 version. how to solve it? epw file not read in dynamo.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Rhino Inside and Ladybug for Grasshopper is the only fix I've found unfortunately. Ladybug stopped supporting their tools for Dynamo in Revit 2020 onwards.

@@AussieBIMGuru ow ...... hope it will solve in revit update version. thanks.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@rezwanulhoque117 they wont unfortunately. It has been many years now and they released a statement explaining why they don't support Dynamo anymore: discourse.ladybug.tools/t/ladybug-dynamo-nodes-giving-error-on-revit-2020/6921/13

@@AussieBIMGuru If possible can you find out another way to create sun path analysis in dynamo?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@rezwanulhoque117 the only way I know is to get the sun directions but it requires complex python code and is a lot more effort versus using Grasshopper. I'll do a tutorial on sun hour analysis in Grasshopper this year on the channel.

It's a gold. I'm looked for something similar very long. Thnks!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Glad it helped! Be sure to check out my 2 latest videod also, same workflow but in grasshopper (and much simpler!)

Great tutorial as usual! Thanks a lot!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Thanks Moe, your support is greatly appreciated - mvp!

[@moegyi2077]

@@AussieBIMGuru seriously, they are really useful for beginner user like me. I don't know python, Power BI, dynamo, so on, improved the workflow greatly. And i saw your tutorials and suggestion, now i'll focus studying on those too.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@moegyi2077 great choices to study! I've started learning python lately as well - maybe in 6 months or so I will begin videos on that as well!

[@moegyi2077]

@@AussieBIMGuru great! I'd love to wait for that too !! (Meanwhile waiting for other revit tutorials too XD). Oh, have you tried this software? It's really good for 4D and 5D simulations! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHq3n3SmirBoqKs

[@moegyi2077]

Oh, so many tutorials about python. Could you recommend where should i start? XD www.lynda.com/search?q=python&f=producttypeid%3a2

[@asrajo5728]

epw error, import always null, does anyone know why?

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Ladybug for dynamo is no longer supported past revit 2019 unfortunately.

[@karldal1961]

@Aussie BIM Guru Hi Gavin Thanks for this useful Part, I have question regard it, I am using revit 2020 + Dynamo 2.1.0 + ladybug Unfortunately the sun path doesn't show up at all any ideas what might be issue??

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Unfortunately ladybug is unsupported in 2020 and beyond. I suggest looking into grasshopper and rhino inside.

[@solomonalemu6953]

@@AussieBIMGuru there is ladybug fix package. is that for fixing the issues on Revit 2020+? if is that help can you show how to use this package.

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@solomonalemu6953 i had a look at it but couldn't figure out how it works unfortunately. There aren't any instructions or a reference anywhere.

[@derekbehr8365]

Can you show Solar Radiation Analysis on Dynamo?? Thanks!!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Unfortunately I only use Ladybug in Grasshopper/Rhino Inside these days, Dynamo's equivalent was too weak and slow in comparison. I may do a video on radiation and these programs at some point though.

[@derekbehr8365]

​@@AussieBIMGuru Thanks. I only have Dynamo, and I really need to know these techniques. (Maybe I'll buy Grasshopper at the end of the year.) Congratulations on your videos, I'm following all.

[@zinebke6692]

Thank you!

[@AussieBIMGuru]

You're welcome!

[@marcinosiecki4272]

Ladybug for Dynamo is no longer devloped, so Revit 2020.2 with Dynamo 2.3 does not work :( Should I try with RhinoInside or older Dynamo 2.0.3? Thanks for great videos on KZbin

[@AussieBIMGuru]

Yes I uae Rhino Inside now, far better!

[@marcinosiecki4272]

@@AussieBIMGuru I only got rhino 5 edu and no rhino at the office :( it's a shame they discontinued ladybug for dynamo but from the other side it means that the rhino version will be well developed I guess

[@AussieBIMGuru]

@@marcinosiecki4272 indeed! Yeah that's a bit tricky, they offer 90 day rhino 6 trials if that helps? I found grasshopper's ladybug was far superior to dynamos even when it worked, but yes it's a shame.

[@marcinosiecki4272]

@@AussieBIMGuru Unfortunatelly users with 90days licenses do not have access to Rhino WIP (Serengeti) :( I can only upgrade my educational license to commercial Rhino 6 and then get access to WIP :O By the way - I'm curius when they are going to release Rhino 7 with that Rhino.Inside project, it's been a long time since Rhino 6 release

[@lennonsc77]

@@AussieBIMGuru This is of course a great tutorial, as are all of your tutorials. Any updates on this in regards to Ladybug for dynamo no longer working? but still staying inside Revit and Dynamo? (I don't have rhino, like many others.)
