Hi Philipp, When I run the Direct SunHours component, I seem to get an extra timestep. For example, if I am analysing 1hr with 6 timesteps (every 10mins), I seem to get results greater than 1hour (e.g. 1.16hrs of sunlight between 12pm-1pm). Do you know why this is the case?
I am wondering if you need a 10 minute interval for a Sun Hour study. The idea is to calculate hours together. Except you want to animate the Sun exposure over time. However I think the reason why you get a seventh step has something to do with the way how ladybug calculates this. It adds values for points in time. So for example. The first value is captured at 12:OO then 12:10, 12:20, 12:30, 12:40, 12:50. (6 values) Now because you define the hour as 12:00 to 1:00 you get a seventh value at 1:00. This value supposed to be part of the next hour. 1:00, 1:10 1:20 etc... Now again I don't see much reason why I would calculate an hour in 10 minute interval if I can just calculate 1 hour with an hour interval... You get the same result...
Not sure what you mean. The grid... I guess you mean the resolution? Watch around 21:16... I just increased the resolution.... From a 2 meter grid to a 0.2 meter grid.
@@PhilippGalvanDesign Thanks for your response! It's actually a red line grid on the surface that's being analyzed, and yes, the grid is the size of the resolution I specified. I tried hiding the geometry and the grid still stays. It's linked to the LB Direct Sun Hours component, because the grid turns green when I click on it in Grasshopper. I wonder what parameter specification or modification I'm missing?
@@vchatti I recommend watching some general grasshopper interface introduction tutorials. Every component in grasshopper can be turned off by right clicking on the middle part and choose preview....
It seems to go away when I bake the component, just wanted to follow up so anyone reading this with the same issue can try that. I'm using Rhino 8 on a Mac.
Hmm, i don't have much experience with Rhino8 and Mac. But maybe the red lines come from your display mode... Could you send me some screenshots? office@nedomlel.com
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?
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 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 !
thanks for all your videos about ladybug, could you explain more about view-out analysis
Yes I will discuss this in one of the next videos.
doing my mandatory bow down to you just for exisiting and making this channel, cant express how much helpful you are to the community !!!!
Great to hear!

You get the same result...
Thanks for this video, it was really useful for us. I'm just wondering how to turn off the display of the grid in the Direct Sun Hours tool?
Not sure what you mean. The grid...
I guess you mean the resolution?
Watch around 21:16... I just increased the resolution.... From a 2 meter grid to a 0.2 meter grid.

Muchas gracias genio!
Muchas Gracias in return.

What to time frame period did you choose?
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?
No I didn't know. Sounds interesting. Thanks for bringing it up.
hi i like your vids but im confused from where you get your models and do they need to be in layers ?
I model my models. They can be in layers but don't have to be...
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
Have you placed your house as context?
@@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 !
