Gridded Skylight Parameters

Create Dragonfly skylight parameters with instructions for generating skylights according to a ratio with the base Roof surface.

Inputs

  • ratio [Required]

A number between 0 and 0.75 for the ratio between the skylight area and the total Roof face area.

  • spacing

A number for the spacing between the centers of each grid cell. This should be less than half of the dimension of the Roof geometry if multiple, evenly-spaced skylights are desired. If None, a spacing of one half the smaller dimension of the parent Roof will be automatically assumed. (Default: None).

Outputs

  • skylight

Skylight Parameters that can be applied to a Dragonfly object using the "DF Apply Facade Parameters" component.
