Sensor Grid from Rooms

PreviousSensor Grid from AperturesNextView

Last updated 1 year ago

-

Generate SensorGrid objects from the floors of honeybee Rooms. These SensorGrids can be used in a grid-based recipe.

The names of the grids will be the same as the rooms that they came from.

Inputs

  • rooms [Required]

A list of honeybee Rooms for which sensor grids will be generated. This can also be an entire Honeybee Model from which Rooms will be extracted.

  • grid_size [Required]

Number for the size of the grid cells.

  • dist_floor

Number for the distance to move points from the floors of the input rooms. The default is 0.8 meters.

  • quad_only

Boolean to note whether meshing should be done using Rhino's defaults (False), which fills the entire floor geometry to the edges with both quad and tringulated faces, or a mesh with only quad faces should be generated. FOR ADVANCED USERS: This input can also be a vector object that will be used to set the orientation of the quad-only grid. Note that, if a vector is input here that is not aligned with the plane of the room's floors, an error will be raised.

  • remove_out

Boolean to note whether an extra check should be run to remove sensor points that lie outside the Room volume. Note that this can add significantly to the component's run time and this check is usually not necessary in the case that all walls are vertical and all floors are horizontal (Default: False).

  • wall_offset

A number for the distance at which sensors close to walls should be removed.

Outputs

  • grid

A SensorGrid object that can be used in a grid-based recipe.

  • points

The points that are at the center of each grid cell.

  • mesh

Analysis mesh that can be passed to the 'Spatial Heatmap' component.
