Curved rooms and window analisys with Honeybee

Hello, everyone!

I have this problem while analyzing curved rooms with curved apertures in Honeybee (these geometries come from Archicad and are converted to grasshopper geometries). I noticed that when I input curved rooms, they are simplified into planar faces (I’m using RoomSolid, Aperture and AddSubface components). However, the same does not happen with the windows, causing them to misalign. To address this, I anticipated this simplification to make them compatible with the windows, which worked partially. However, Honeybee recognizes only some of the apertures, while others return the error: “The following sub-faces were not matched with any parent Face.” Even though I extracted the apertures from the room geometry (SolidDifference component), Honeybee does not identify them.

I have the same issue for Daylighting Analysis: I created an aperture surface by projecting a curve on a dome (oval) object and receive the error: The following sub-faces were not matched with any parent faces. I’m using the latest version of the tools.

hi @deborax and @MahsanM,

Windows have to be detached from the wall edges.
I think that is causing the problem here.

The HB_Planarize component can be your friend here.
