Hello peeps!

After running the FlucsDL application, then selecting the "Sky View" option to load results for a No Sky Line Test I've found that the results in the results summary window or pdf export table of results contradicts the results shown in the model itself. If you look at the room in the ...

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your reply.

I know what you mean about the push/pull tool inverting or extruding surfaces or geometry in Sketchup differently, depending on the particular default grey surface manipulated. While this always seemed like a quirk in Sketchup, it doesn't normally seem to have any ...

Hi all,

When running daylight simulations in Radiance so far I've been using the default materials settings, however it is becoming necessary to have to edit materials depending on the nature of the model - eg; So instead of using the default glass material settings I need to edit the properties of ...

That's very interesting!

I've noticed the different default grey faces do slightly different things when generally modelling in Sketchup, such as when extruding for example...

Though I've never noticed any subsequent effects in VE before!?

Thanks,

Naomi.

Hi Ross Thompson/ VE Professor,

Thanks very much for the suggestion. It's certainly one idea I've considered, and I have already attempted somewhat; saving as different versions of the file, and even copy and pasting out into new Sketchup files, before transferring. It doesn't seem to have helped ...

Hi everyone,

After running a successful room scan using the VE plugins, on a Sketchup model, in Sketchup version 8, and detecting all rooms correctly I use the plugins to launch and transfer the model into VE. The plugin runs "Convert model to XML" dialogue progress bar. Normally this runs and then ...

Hi everyone,

When modelling in Sketchup, and then transferring/ importing into VE, using the plugins I have also encountered errors like this where the windows drawn in a Sketchup room/ model envelope, and seemingly picked up successfully in the room scan get removed when imported and launched into ...
